Ex1 Without music, explore the sensations of co-contraction in front, back, and side rebotes of different lengths. Be sure to try co-contracting the sending leg and the receiving leg until you can easily control which one you use. Note to yourself what feels best in the different steps (front, side back, large, small).
Ex2 Now with music, explore and play improvising only with steps and rebotes forward, side and back, using different shapes of steps and different sizes of rebotes. Try at least 4 very different pieces of music.
Ex3 Now again without music, try to take a step, co-contract, pivot a little (less than 90 degrees at first!) and then release the co-contraction in another direction. Be patient with yourself as you learn this.
Ex4 Now with a series of different songs, mix steps, rebotes, and alteraciónes.
