## FOCUS:
|
||
This lesson focuses on practicing contrabody walks with three steps and a tap, emphasizing travel and direction changes to build comfort and natural movement.
|
||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||
<li>Start with weight on the right, step left first, and face left for the initial direction.</li>
|
||
<li>When tapping, add a swing from the center instead of keeping the body straight.</li>
|
||
<li>Practice starting with weight on the left leg, stepping right first for variation.</li>
|
||
<li>Repeat the sequence many times until it feels automatic, especially the direction changes.</li>
|
||
<li>Film yourself to review and improve your form during practice.</li>
|
||
</ul></p>
|
||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||
<li>The tap movement should originate from the center for better body shape and flow.</li>
|
||
<li>Changing direction smoothly is crucial, especially when dancing with a partner.</li>
|
||
<li>Comfort and natural execution are key goals, achieved through repetition.</li>
|
||
<li>This technique helps followers anticipate direction changes in partner dancing.</li>
|
||
<li>Consistent practice builds muscle memory for effortless performance.</li>
