Shoulder groove

Objective

Develop rhythmic pulse, weight transfer and a usable movement vocabulary.

How To Do It

Start with relaxed knees and clear weight transfer; keep the pulse continuous before adding stylistic detail.

Common Errors

Stiff knees; unclear weight transfer; movement becomes an isolated pose; loss of pulse.

If It's Too Hard

Reduce speed; remove arms; practice in place; use a simple beat.

If It's Too Easy

Add travel, direction, level, texture, tempo and finally freestyle.

How You'll Know You've Got It

30 seconds without losing pulse; 3 variations; one musical response.
