Anisa
Multi-Layered Isolation Technique
What does it mean to isolate?
Does it mean moving only one body part at a time?
Not Necessarily!
In this workshop you will learn:
- Combinations of isolations: using muscles in
combination together ; i.e., one movement with the
lower torso while at the same time adding a
different dance move with the upper body.
- How correct posture and weight placement help you anchor and activate
your muscles to allow for isolation.
- Shimmying with intentional arm movements using your back
and shoulder muscles to help eliminate unintentional arm shaking.
Combinations will include:
- pelvic drops and chest shimmies at the same time
- adding rib cage and arms
- camels with chest shimmies and added arm moves
- adding arms and/or ribcage to side to side shimmies
- using weight shift for fluidity with side to side shimmies and hip circles
What are your arms doing while your hips are busy?
Are your elbows following or leading?
Ready for "Handle This" and "Wristy Business"?
Focus is on upperbody posture, arm carriage with fluid
and sharp technique, framing and layering combinations
for beautiful, expressive gestures and dramatic ARMS!
