Learn Opposites: Charleston Move of the week

This week we are looking at a simple Charleston move called Opposites. This is easy move which can be stylised in many ways.

In the basic motion comes from the knees where you push you hips forwards and back and swing your arms in opposition to your hips.

Once you have the motion of swinging forwards and back, you can also swing from side to side. Again, your arms swing in opposition to your hips.

The full movement is bringing together the forward and back and side motions in one seamless movement.

Once you have the basic step, you can add swivel to your feet to really exaggerate the move.
