GROUND GROOVES WORKSHOP - AMSTERDAM

INT + ADV LEVEL

Ground Grooves is a floorwork class emphasizing continuous and fluid movement from a methodical and safe approach. Designed for dancers with previous floorwork experience of any style, this faster-paced workshop emphasizes learning longer sequences of movement.

Working with and without momentum, dancers move through a variety of rolls, slides, inversions, and shoulder rolls focusing on efficiency for longevity, absorbing impact with muscular resistance, and developing qualitative movement textures.

Dancers can expect to gain:

-a deeper physical expression of floorwork texture, dynamics, and flow

-increased awareness of weight placement and its effect on spinal freedom and transitional clarity

-tools for developing a lush, spongy movement quality

-control and fluidity moving in and out of the floor

-methods for integrating floorwork principles into standing work

Dancers can expect to experience:

-a relaxed environment where everyone can experience movement with joy and curiosity

-ample personalized guidance

-connection with other dancers in a non-judgmental learning space

-a concentrated focus on movement concepts to improve efficiency and prevent injury

-low-impact alternatives that build towards more challenging movements

-guided written self-reflection
