FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on improvising with momentum in single-axis turns, teaching how to vary the speed of turns for comfort and dynamic expression.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Leads can adjust the turn's speed or stop completely without moving the follower off axis.
- Followers can play with momentum by holding their lower body back and then speeding up.
- Use facial expressions and eye contact to communicate intentional changes in speed.
- Practice slowing down, stopping, and catching up with the partner's momentum.
- Ensure changes feel intentional and not reactive to every bit of resistance.
##REMEMBER
- Momentum adjustment is a two-way street; both partners should be prepared to adapt.
- Changes should be made for comfort or dynamic effect, not automatically in response to resistance.
- Maintain clear communication through body language and facial cues to understand partner needs.
- Keep the turn on axis even when varying speed or stopping.
- Intentional changes enhance the dance's dynamic and connection.
