Open Adult Intermediate/Advanced Contemporary FLOORWORK

Saturday 10-11:30 AM

Teacher on 11/9: FRANKIE HENDERSON

About Frankie’s Class: Contemporary floorwork is a merge of acquired techniques that utilize breath work, core engagement, gravity and momentum, sufficient upper body strength, and explosive actions derived from the pelvis. In this class, dancers will use efficient movements that enable them to yield to the floor using their body weight while simultaneously using their strength to push the floor away in opposition. Dancers will maneuver their bodies with a combination of weaving/threading, creasing/folding, and expanding/collapsing to construct patterns on the floor. Dancers will take part in inversion work by pouring weight into the hands and upper body musculature with various manipulations of the lower body. Contemporary floorwork employs various levels of acrobatics and propelling spirals derived from teachings of flying low technique and soft acrobatics.
