Format: physical workshop
Experience level: Must have attended Lines and Layers 1, Arms and Hands.
Bring: Comfortable clothes, water bottle
Legs and Hips drive our lower body lines and layers, we use these to travel and provide texture to our performances.
This workshop is going to give you that warm up and mobility routine that will bring greater flexibility to your body. We will identify those sticky/gripping parts of our legs and hips and juice them up.
There will be a splits drill that starts at a beginner level, a hip drill to bring some mobility to your grinding, and if there is time some butt clenching to build a shimmy.
Workshop is suitable for all levels and dance ability, however there will be squats, lunges and standing on one leg, all of which can be done against a wall or chair for support.
