Breaking Down the Hit the Quan Dance:
-
Find the Groove: The foundation of the “Hit the Quan” dance is all about the groove. Start by rocking your upper body slightly forward, adding a bounce with your knees. As you bounce, push your hips forward and lean back in a fluid motion. Think of a subtle rocking and bouncing rhythm. To add to this, let your arms flow naturally, mimicking a gentle swimming or rowing action. This whole movement should feel relaxed and rhythmic.
-
Add the Toe Taps: Once you’ve got the body groove, it’s time to incorporate the toe taps. For every beat of the rhythm, lightly tap your toes out to each side, alternating left and right. This might feel a bit like your legs are moving at double speed compared to your upper body, but that’s part of the unique feel of the “Hit the Quan”. It’s a subtle and quick footwork addition to the core groove.
-
Putting It All Together: Now it’s time to synchronize the groove, bounce, toe taps, and arm movements. Start slowly to get comfortable with each element, and gradually increase your speed as you get the hang of it. Remember to keep your body relatively low to the ground – the focus is on the rhythm and groove, not jumping high. Most of the “Hit the Quan” comes from engaging your core. Practice the body rock and bounce together with the toe taps to nail the move!
