Class Structure: We begin with a series of floor exercises designed to awaken the feet, spine, center, and pelvis. Next, standing center work focuses on exercises supported by proper alignment throughout the body. The class culminates in rhythmical, full-bodied movement combinations across the floor.
The Hawkins-based principles emphasized in this class are universally beneficial to dance training at all levels. Valerie Green’s certified background in BodyMind Fitness inform her ability to work with a wide range of participants’ abilities. Exercises are guided with the safe use of body mechanics and neuromuscular imagery, highlighting movement that follows the body’s innate spirals and bone rhythms.
“There are so many different styles of dance and so many ways to move. It’s been amazing to be able to experience that.”
