Grounding is the ability to use the contact of our feet on the floor to drive our movement. For dancers, more grounding means more control and less effort. In these two workshops Taylor and Simon will take us through different ways to be grounded, transferring the floor's support upwards through ourself accurately.
These classes increase our awareness of our self in movement, breaking through old-established habits to enable new patterns to emerge.
