Class Description
Come roll, sweat, and fly in this contemporary floorwork class! Geared toward experienced movers, Cindy’s class and movement style draws from floorwork dance techniques inspired by acrobatics, martial arts, and release techniques. The class will move progressively, beginning with warmups and drills that bring heat into the body and prepare participants to move in and out of the floor, and then transitioning into larger phrases that incorporate musicality, theatricality, and locomotion. An emphasis is also placed on building community among participants throughout the course of the class.
Kneepads and long sleeves/pants are strongly recommended.
