I was at a dance recently and during a brief chat with a very advanced follower the topic of leaders came up. To my surprise she pointed out a leader that was dancing with her friend and said “He is very came difficult to dance with, she is doing a great job of interpreting his leads”. This leader is known in the Boston scene and is generally considered one of the more advanced and sought after leaders (in fact he teaches locally from time to time and his teaching information is spot on). So I sat back and watched the leader dance and I was blown away by what I discovered…This teacher and advanced dancer doesn’t do his first triple! He starts each pattern with a solid One, Two…Stands there while his partner walks by, then Triples to close the pattern.
Triple steps are to swing what breathing is to life. If you substitute your triple steps for rock steps, tap steps, or swivels you are making yourself more difficult to lead or follow. This week’s lesson plan is dedicated to what makes that first triple is so important.
