ARABESQUES IN APRIL w/Susy
WHAT TO EXPECT...
WARM UP - Floor work conditioning exercises to mobilize and stabilize the body. Targets: pelvic stability, spinal lengthening, glutes and core. Often weak core muscles can make it difficult to execute and balance in an arabesque position, causing the torso to lean forward or backward.
BARRE - Specific barre warm up focusing on standing leg stability, working leg length and placement of torso. Once warm, we will get into short targeted drills for power and placement in arabesque.
BETWEEN BARRE & CENTER - Deeper stretch and strengthening drills now that we are warm. The key to a high arabesque is stabilizing the core while lengthening and stretching the back body.
CENTER - Center will be brief for this workshop as the mastery of arabesques lies in its components and will focus mainly on hitting and maintaining the arabesque position in adagio and across the floor exercises. No jumps in this workshop.
WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:
1) Notebook for notes - Many of the conditioning exercises can be done at home and integrated into your cross training routine outside of ballet classes.
2) Theraband and/or stretch band
3) Yoga Mat (optional)

GET A LEG UP!
Los Angeles-based director and choreographer Nancy Paradis returns this June to work with The Freaks! Join us as we eagerly await Nancy's guidance through exhilarating snippets of original choreography and across the floor technique.
WHAT TO EXPECT...
​
This workshop features a solid ballet warm-up followed by some contemporary technique across the floor and excerpts of contemporary choreography from Nancy's immense repertoire.
​
The passion, joy and lightheartedness Nancy brings to her teaching and choreography is so palpable that it is impossible not to have fun! Find the joy of dance and explore unique movement patterns that we don't normally get to delve into in a purely classical ballet class. Traverse new movement patterns and pathways in a playful and encouraging environment and you will be well on your way to building versatility in your dancing while also feeding your soul the freedom that ensues when dancing with a sense of abandon.
