Discover how a strong, responsive axis can transform your dancing. In this intermediate-level series, we’ll begin with exercises drawn from Modern Dance and the Franklin Method to explore balance through visualization, alignment, and dynamic opposition—you’ll develop the ability to find ease and power on one leg, stay centered in motion, and clearly sense where your axis is at all times—so you can share it fluidly with a partner.
Together, we’ll apply these tools to walking, carousels, ochos, spins, and more. Leave each class with practical skills and a more embodied, nuanced understanding of balance in motion.
𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭: Ochos and directional variations
𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮: Carousels and how to access them anytime
𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟯: Spins - working up to single-leg
𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟰: Review and putting it all together
