Our body conditioning classes are targeted for Brazilian Zouk dancers who are dedicated to achieving quality of movement. They are structured as "follow along" classes with drills that can help prepare our bodies for more advanced concepts. There will be some verbal guiding throughout the hour, but questions are to be reserved for the last 5 minutes of class. These sessions are not meant to be fitness classes, but rather consists of solo exercises to train ourselves to dance Brazilian Zouk in the most efficient way possible. With time, discipline, and repetition, our bodies can start applying the technique practiced in these sessions automatically with minimal effort. Regular attendance is most effective and highly recommended.
Every session includes exercises for...
Flow & Isolation - Ribcage, Hip, Sways, Snakes, Body Rolls
Conditioning - Ankle Strength, Turnouts, Weight Shift, Balance
...and each series will have a specific movement focus, each one more challenging than the last.
Conditioning A - Lines and Grounding
Conditioning B - Turns and Spins
Conditioning C - Head Movement
You can buy either cut bands or rolls on Amazon.com, choose whichever color you feel works best for your level. We suggest between Green or Blue works well. Below is an example of how we plan to use them, in case you need reference on the band's length.
