Creative releases are often quite difficult to drop into your Team Movementflow, especially counter clock releases. The Flamingo and Flamingitis throws both spin counter clock and both happen while the handler is upside down and all crooked and backwards. Usually these throws are just chucked out there somewhere after the dog goes around or is making a Pass. Eppie and I are working on making these throws with Intent and flowing Team Movement for the leap – on the flank and with shapes.

Get the full lesson with video here: https://pvybe.com/disc-dog-training/on-throwing/music-dance-and-disc-dog-freestyle-the-rhythm-is-in-the-gaps/

Rhythm is the placement of sound (or action) in time.Melody and harmony and dance steps can’t exist without rhythm and the rhythm is happening because of the gaps – between the sounds or actions – in time. It is not the beats of the music or the steps of the dance that matter, it is the space and time between them. 

Your disc dog tricks and moves are your beats or dance steps. All the stuff required to set them up and make them look and sound good in flow are the gaps. You need rhythm in your play to create beautiful music and graceful dance instead of just making noise and moving erratically. To create rhythm, you need to mind the gaps.
