What was covered the first week of August :)

Beginner:

We reviewed hip slides, rib slides, pelvic tuck/drop, rib cage lift/drop, hip lifts, hip lift shimmy, shoulder shimmies, omi and vertical rib cage circles and then we learned ¾ shimmy on the up, chassez (aka step ball change) and rocking step.

Intermediate:

We warmed up with 3s then worked on singles with our zils. Next we reviewed ¾ on the up and ¾ shimmy on the down. We then worked on Sharita, sharita w/3pt turn, Sharita while spinning, Scoop and pivot, sheherazade and Angel (butterfly) wings with the veil.

Advanced:

After warming up we worked on timing the right and left hand open fan waves and flutters so they match. We then worked on open fan vertical and horizontal figure 8s following the together, chasing, mirrored, alternating rules.
