Hi there! Thanks for your interest in workshops with me, Dani / Danielle (I like both!).

🧱 General Structure 🧱:
Part 1: Warm-up
Part 2: Head movement theory + exercises
- Sept 7 - Balão (circular, up and down head motion)
- Sept 14 - Rotisserie (tight, continuous spiral motion)
- Sept 28 - Tilts (side-to-side head lean)
Part 3: Case studies and practical applications (lab-style)
The final portion of the workshop will be a 'lab-style' session—this is where the magic happens! I'll be asking for volunteers who want to work on a specific movement or concept they're currently working on (this can include the movement we just learned!). You'll get some focused, personalized coaching from me, and the best part is that everyone learns from the process. It's a great opportunity to get exactly the help you need.
