FOCUS

  • This lesson focuses on practicing rotation in Texas Shuffle, specifically teaching how to anchor and rotate around a partner using techniques from pass-bys.

TIP & TRICKS:

  • Open the door to create a line and let the rotation continue instead of stopping.
  • Hold your spot at the end of a pass-by and rotate around your follower.
  • Anchor yourself when your partner locks on a spot to encourage rotation.
  • Play with different shots and footwork while holding a stable spot.
  • Trade the anchor role back and forth with your partner during rotation.

##REMEMBER

  • Rotation should feel similar to the protected two-arm version but with only one connection.
  • The movement can be initiated from either the leader or follower deciding to anchor.
  • Rotation builds energy like in linear movements but in a circular pattern.
  • Practice should feel like a conversation, not a fight, to maintain flow.
