FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on side-by-side opposition in dance, teaching leaders to maintain momentum and fluidity while guiding followers through a smooth, connected movement.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should pause on the fifth basic step and move their upper body forward to signal followers to continue.
- Keep arms active and adjust hand position for a comfortable connection, such as sliding to the follower's left side.
- Followers should let their body turn slightly towards the leader to maintain shoulder comfort and connection.
- Both partners should maintain visual and physical connection to enhance communication during the move.
- Add style by varying upper body shape, getting low, or adding shoulder shimmies for a playful effect.
##REMEMBER
- Ensure followers' momentum is continuous and fluid throughout the opposition movement.
- Leaders should not pull followers back; let them naturally return based on the established flow.
- Protect shoulder comfort by adjusting body angles and arm positions to avoid disconnection.
- Practice the move with multiple oppositions and adapt it for social dancing as desired.
- Focus on smooth leading through upper body movement rather than arm actions.
