Dancer Series
Pull Up
We've heard it before - Stomach in, Butt under, Straight knees, and Flat back! (and usually instilling a little fear along the way)
But what does that leave us with?
An anxious, tight, robotic and forced exterior with a gripped, compressed and strained interior.
This three-class series for dancers will focus on how to initiate "pulling up" without gripping, clenching, or straining the rest of the body for a more functional and healthy connection.
I promise, there is a better way, we just have to go deeper!
The Complex Psoas
This mysterious muscle group, the Iliopsoas, plays such a substantial role in the dancing and moving body. This three class series will dive deep into the inner workings of the psoas with release techniques, breath work, strengthening, and provide anatomical real-life applications.
Here are some facts:
- psoas strength is essential for bringing the leg above 90 degrees!
- it is the only muscle in the body that connects the legs to the spine, which is why it is one of your deepest core muscles.
- breath plays a vital role in the function of the psoas because of its connection to the diaphragm
-this “muscle of the soul” is closely linked with your fight or flight response, and holds past trauma
- it is common for dancers to have weak and tight psoas, but stretching is not always the answer
Port de Bras
This phrase refers to the "carriage of the arms", but it proves to hold much more value than that. Port de Bras is our personality, our communication, and our artistry.
In this three-class series, we will explore where port de bras comes from, how to use it in a graceful yet powerful way, create coordination among the many moving parts, and work through the different areas of the body that are involved in making this overall concept come to life. It's a blend of anatomy, beauty and awareness.
