There's nothing better for your dance than a strong foundation.... and what's the foundation of your dance???
YOUR FEET!!!
Finding a deeper connection, more freedom and better rhythm in your feet helps with finding a connection, freedom and rhythm in the rest of you!
This upcoming masterclass, offered both in-person and over Zoom, will teach you how to connect rhythmic footwork with balanced, stable legs along with hip joints that are free to move. This is an intensive learning experience!
Here are the details…
LIVELY LEGS, FANCY FEET
TUESDAYS FROM 6:30-8PM April 4th-25th (4 Weeks)
COST: $140 in-person price ($95 Zoom price)
Drop-in price: $40 per class ($25 per class Zoom)
3 DAYS LEFT TO SIGN UP!!!
Week 1 - Rotation of hips from center
Explore how to rotate your hips and lengthen your legs from your center for easier and more efficient movement. Learn how to integrate the full rotation of your hip joints and legs into your dance.
Week 2 - Long legs, pointed feet
Explore lengthening of the legs and pointing of the feet while rotating, engaging the deep muscles of the spine and hips to support you. Learn traveling steps in multiple directions.
Week 3 - Painting with the feet
Explore drawing shapes or “painting” intricately with your feet, using your whole self to support this movement. Learn how to incorporate beautiful, eloquent drawings with the feet into your dance.
Week 4 - Finding rhythm in the feet
Explore finding easier, more intricate rhythms with the soles of your feet. Learn how to apply more intricate foot patterns into your dance.
Here’s the format of the class...
PART 1 (~30mins)
We'll start the class by improving your mind-body connection with somatic movement explorations lying down on a yoga mat. Our goal with this part of the class is to sense for yourself how to move from center and create the habit of including more of your whole self in every movement. We also learn how to prioritize breathing, find a sense of ease, and how to improve your sense of presence and awareness.
PART 2 (~15-20mins)
Then we'll do some exercises to map out these movements, practicing different pathways for our feet and legs to move us through space. Some of this work will involve standing on one leg to improve our sense of balance. We'll explore how we transfer weight left and right as well as how to better utilize the full range of rotation in our hip joints to support us in changing directions.
PART 3 (~40-45mins)
We DANCE!! Apply everything you've learned to specific dance steps and combinations.
I'm here to help you build stronger foundations in your dance. This is going to be one of my best classes yet.
Limited spots available. Venmo preferred. Email me to sign up!
Hope to dance with you soon
