FOCUS

  • This lesson focuses on creating dynamic moments in dance by exploring tension release, specifically practicing controlled drops to interrupt constant body flow and then rebuilding movement.

TIP & TRICKS:

  • Imagine something heavy pulling you down when releasing tension for a drop.
  • Practice doubling the drop quickly: inhale, drop-drop, then return to flow.
  • Start rebuilding flow directly from where the drop lands, such as using hip rotation.
  • Slow down movements to create intimate, tiny motions after drops.
  • Use side steps with snake effects as comfortable base movements for practicing drops.

##REMEMBER

  • Dynamics involve interrupting constant body flow with intentional tension releases.
  • The core maintains connection between upper and lower body during movement.
  • Drops can occur in either upper or lower body by releasing energy from the core.
  • Rebuild flow immediately from the drop point rather than returning to neutral first.
  • Control the timing and speed of drops to vary dynamic expression.
