Making Connections Workshop with Shannon Stewart

Making Connections Workshop with Shannon Stewart

Sunday, October 22
1:00-4:00pm

Workshop Fee: $60.00

Making the Connections is geared toward trained dancers and dance teachers focusing on spinal articulation, core strength, understanding and utilizing the psoas muscle group. We will explore tools for leg extensions, balance, port de bras, and more.

The workshop begins with Gyrokinesis® to build a strong connection between the upper and lower body. We will talk about how these ideas apply to our physical practice - specifically ballet and contemporary technique. There will be some time for question, answers, and workshopping issues at the end of the session.
