Grooves and 3s
Three-count patterns and fast, detailed grooves are the focus, and they prepare you for the combination. Timing, dynamics and weight changes all get worked.
Lean side to side with your hands in fists. Run right, left, right with the arms up and over, then push back. Some moments move very fast, so use your plié and breathe. Pushing too hard can work against you. Let your breath sync with the speed and dynamic changes.
