Class description
Class theme: Technique, Precision & Choreography
This training draws from a blend of contemporary and urban dance techniques. We begin with a collective warm up to awaken awareness and proprioception while building strength, balance, and flexibility. We then refine our technique through across-the-floor sequences, starting with basic floorwork and soft acrobatics, and progressing toward more challenging standing material, including grooves, footwork, turns, and jumps. In the second half of the class we learn a phrase of set material that emphasizes the integration of technique with musicality, textures, dynamic shifts, and moving together as a group.
