LESSON 1
During this Open Break we learn how we can use the energy generated from breaking-back with our partner in order to turn and switch sides with them.
Level Up what you know vs. learning something new. The best way to level-up a basic right turn is to add a hammerlock-hold that becomes undone by doing an “open break switch”
Here we cover a leader’s “Underarm Left Turn”. Along with what to do, and consider, about our hands’ connection when the leader decides to turn himself to the left.
LESSON 4
This lesson covers how to lead the follower into Cross-Body-Lead (CBL) Right Turns, which entails multiple right turns. One and half turns to be exact. A challenging turn but never impossible.
Let’s now connect a leader’s "Left turn" with a follower’s “CBL Right Turn” to create a turn combo. We will also cover a new shoulder connection to help prep and lead easier .
This pattern has a whole lot of everything. Spinning, Styling and switching sides with your partner in different ways. Let’s now start it with basic "Closed Position Reverse CBL", with twist at the end.
We will spend a majority of our time dancing together in order to help you build better muscle memory, give you added confidence on the dance floor, and continue preparing you for the next stage - every step of the way.
