Go Higher

Extreme shapes make this jazz funk combination. Open the chest fully, then close it just as far, so the dancing feels as full as possible. Think about where the wrists sit against the elbows, and about the ribs and hip bones moving toward each other.

Confidence runs through it. Chin up, shoulders back, and own every pose and walk. A few steps are plainly funky and awkward, and that is part of it.

Floor work comes late, and you place your knees down rather than slamming them. The final pose is held for all four counts.
