Welcome to Part Two of Transitions: Dancing Between the Steps.
This series isn’t a typical transitions course. Rather than learning how to link movements together to create combinations, this series goes deeper into the subtle nuances of how to create graceful, smooth transitions across our entire vocabulary.
From feet to arms, DeAnna will not only guide you through concepts to link movements seamlessly, but you’ll also learn how transitions may differ based on music, movements and the experience you want to provide your audience.
In Part Two of this series, we look at the arms and arm pathways including DeAnna's concepts of three types of arm transitions.
We start class with a warm-up designed specifically for these drills. Not only to warm up your body but also to create the mind-body connections and awareness that will help you get even more out of this class.
Please note this class was originally taught as a private series but was so beneficial we decided to offer it to the broader community. Therefore please ignore any references to Q&As. Any references to “next week” simply refer to the following part in the series.
We recommend taking Part One of this series before taking this class.
