What This Move Is
The lead's own forward body wave, danced as styling and as an invitation for the follow to mirror through the shared frame. The same sequential chest-core-hips ripple, expressed by the lead.
Key Points
- Lead: Wave your own body chest-core-hips through the shared frame; this both styles and invites the follow to match.
- Follow: Optionally mirror the wave through the frame.
- Timing: One wave over 2-4 counts.
- Common mistake: Stiff, blocky motion instead of a sequential ripple; over-leading the follow's mirror.
Style Notes
Body movement is for both roles. A lead who can wave cleanly makes the follow's mirror effortless to invite.
