Workshop description: My wish is to impart a solid foundation of dance movement with high impact and high energy drills and strengthening. My focus as a dancer and teacher is first and foremost expression, something that can't really be taught, as it is individual to each one of us, but can be facilitated with strong technique and the right learning environment. We will go over lots of pop-lock technique, as well as fluidity of movement, stressing on posture and upper body awareness. Layering of moves will be touched on, as well as exercises for fluttering, shimmying, and developing your glutes. Hip, head, shoulder and chest isolations will be drilled, as well as working on smoothing transitions from move to move. Kicks and spins will be highlighted, spot turns, paddle turns, and initiating a turn with virtually any part of the body. In the workshop dynamics of motion will be studied (aka not throwing everything out all at once, but holding back a little), and posture, upper body awareness from the shoulders all the way to the fingertips.

Workshop price: $55 in advance (early bird deadline ends November 1st) and $65 (late fee)

  • Remember that this week, you can bring in your registration forms and fee to class at the Earth Movement Studio and I'll send it all up together! This is going to be a great workshop, so do not miss this chance! Even if you're worried you're not ready for it, take it anyway since you will learn so much and will be able to use the information later even if it doesn't make sense right away.
