Acro Flow (10am, week 2)
/ with Allison “Sonnie” Boyson (2024)
Curious about the lower flowier side of dance acrobatics? Want to add more variation to your movement? This class will cover all kinds of ways to interact with the floor in your movement, and will offer options for those just starting through those who would like more of a challenge or variations of what they already know.
A big part of this class is learning to use your full body – not just your feet and hands – to move and flow. To do so we will review safe engagement and alignment for foundational static poses, add on to create sequences, and then play with creating and controlling momentum! Entries and transitions, twists and slides, building from the basics of things like headstands/forearm-stands, shoulder stands and rolls, and kneeling/sitting/laying natural movement flow.
