This week we have started on some Beginner level technique.
- Circles
- Figure 8s
- Hip Hits/Side to Sides
- Hip Shimmy
There are practice videos available for all these moves in this Youtube Playlist
We worked on basic Posture - feet hip width apart, knees soft, pelvis in neutral, ribcage lifted from the back, shoulders rolled back and down.
We used a gentle warm up to mobilise our joints, and some stretches at the end of the session to get any muscles that have tightened up back to normal.
HOME PRACTICE
Bronze level - watch the videos to remind yourself of the technique we covered.
Silver level - practice along with one or more of the videos. You can go for quantity (practising more than one move) or quality (focus on one move, but really work at it).
Gold level - practice without the videos to give you cues. You might want to have a few practices with the videos to start off with, to build up to this!
Platinum level - Write some notes about the lesson, and about your dance practice. I'll be talking about keeping a Dance Journal over the next couple of weeks. Check out this post to be ahead of the game!
