Warm-up is designed around the need for alignment, stability, weight shift, stretch, and strength. It will be followed by across the floor progressions that build upon the basic technical elements required for clean and powerful jumps and turns
Warm-up will touch upon stretch, strength, technique building, finding proper alignment, and isolation. Followed by across the floor progressions to reinforce these ideas in movement, we will then transition to a stylized phrase; always emphasizing technique with the style of that day’s material layered on top.
