FOCUS

  • This lesson focuses on the Messaround movement, teaching how to rotate the pelvis in smooth, even circles while maintaining proper posture and weight changes.

TIP & TRICKS:

  • Keep feet under your body and avoid making the circle too big.
  • Shift weight every two counts with the music for a slow, controlled rhythm.
  • Initiate the movement by swinging hips forward first for clarity with a partner.
  • Practice both clockwise and anticlockwise rotations to build versatility.
  • Maintain a relaxed close embrace when practicing with a partner to move as one body.

##REMEMBER

  • Focus on the quality and consistency of the rotation for a smooth circle.
  • The Messaround can be initiated by either partner during the slow drag.
  • Weight changes are key to feeling the movement and staying balanced.
  • Choose your starting direction and rotation based on personal preference.
