Bop and Groove

A groove drill for finding rhythm in any song. Find the downbeat, then change what you do with it. This exercise starts with a single bounce in the knees, moves to the double bounce common in hip-hop, and goes faster from there.

Stay loose in the body as you push up through the hips and let the movement travel up the spine and neck. Then a simple kick, ball change footwork pattern gives your legs a job while the top half plays.

Try it with slow songs, fast songs, different directions and different levels. It works with any track.
