Continuing our obsessio - er - exploration of snappy/anchored connection. Face-to-face Sliding Doors, Frontside Sailor Knots, and Slingshots.
Exploring floaty and snappy movement in Shag through Upholds and Sliding Doors.
Reviving some old shine moves of ours from Back In The Day.
"Playing with the rubber band effect in Shag"
This class focused on building stretch in-place and releasing it on the quick-quick. Applied to pass-by turns in Open position and Sliding Doors (with entrances out of Side-by-Side and Open). We also noted the Lindy Hop import of moving backward to create stretch, in contrast to Shag's mechanics preferring to build stretch in place.
"Find your internal lightness and float across the floor"
This class focused on Shag mobility in closed position. We covered the Lilt and different expressions of Jig Kicks, adding motion to everything.
