Advanced Level I - 33 Lesson Bundle
In this series you will learn how to execute 5 direction change moves in Phase 25 that will be helpful in changing directions without breaking the flow between you and your partner and Phase 26 (Parts 1 - 7) will introduce you to a series of moves that repeat part of the count before you get to the reset point. This is often executed by the lead will connecting advanced combinations. Phase 25 (Parts 1 – 5) will allow you to change the lane direction from a north and south flow to an east and west one. Phase 25 (Part 5) will allows you to flip the lane from the home position 180 degrees behind the lady moving in the opposite direction. This means you will still be flowing north and south only you will be one full lane distance up from where you were dancing previously. All of these moves allow you to adjust to interruptions caused by other dancers who may encroach upon your lane or for the lead to protect the lady who he is dancing with from colliding with someone who is her blind spots. These combinations are rooted in the basic turn patterns for the ladies with slight modifications. In this series you will also learn how to execute 11 moves that initiate from a hard left. These combinations are rooted in the basic hard left turn patterns for the ladies with slight modifications to execute it in combination with the overall move. The lead will be taught how to hand communicate and execute each combination properly.
