Workshop 2: Rooted & Rising: Unlock Your Groove: Exploring Body Isolations
In this workshop, we will explore the art of body isolations and hip movements. Though commonly associated with jazz and Latin dances, isolations add depth to any dance, offering greater control, fluidity, and connection.
By incorporating body isolations into our dance practice, we can develop a deeper understanding of our movements and enhance our expression and creativity. Isolations allow us to move specific parts of our bodies independently, improving our body awareness, coordination, and control. They not only add visual appeal to our dance but also enable us to interpret music more expressively by accentuating beats or phrases.
The workshop will cover different types of isolations, including those for the head, shoulders, torso, and hips. The first part of the workshop will focus on improving movement control and fluidity individually and through collaborative learning, where partners can support each other. In the second part of the workshop, we will concentrate on incorporating isolations into improvised dances.
This workshop offers an opportunity to explore what our bodies can do and make isolations a natural part of our dancing, regardless of style.

Workshops series:
The series is thoughtfully designed to progress over time, building on previous concepts. However, each workshop is a self-contained experience, allowing participants to attend as many—or as few—as they wish.
