These classes will include floorwork. Open for all levels
After a simple yet vigorous warm up meant to mobilize and bring stability to our joints while making us aware of the weight of our hands, feet and heads; we will roll, spiral, crawl, slide, be upside down, jump and turn in follow the leader style coordinations across the space. This class emphasizes fun and low barrier to entry while challenging our strength, coordination, balance and awareness of momentum with influences from my training in floorwork dance, martial arts, contact improvisation, flying low, countertechnique and ballet.
