JUMPING MECHANICS for Adult Beginners

Workshop Description

If you've been struggling with your jumps and leaps as an adult beginner, this workshop was created for YOU. Go from anxiously standing in the back of the classroom dreading jumps, to leaping into center stage with confidence! As the follow up to our SECRETS OF CENTER workshop, this 2 hour masterclass goes much deeper into the step by step mechanics that successful jumping requires. Jumping can be so overwhelming and confusing at the start of your ballet journey, especially when everyone else already seems to know what they're doing. This workshop will guide you, step by step with patient and gentle instruction, to understanding the mechanics of the jumps and leaps you'll commonly see in the ballet classroom. Located in one of Manhattan's most charming ballet studios, you'll take class alongside the incredible adult ballet community taking New York City by storm. Come make new friends, heal your inner child and dance your heart out! WHEN: 9/28/24 2PM-4PM - 🩰 IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL: • Learn how your barre warm up is the foundation of your jumps to build the proper skills and techniques required for successful leaps • Break down the steps of some common ballet jumps so you can stop guessing or hoping for the best in your classes and dance with confidence instead • Ask all the questions you like! We LOVE hearing what you're feeling confused about so we can guide you to success! • Make friends with other adult ballerinas & build a community of likeminded dancers • Be allowed to capture your progress on camera and learn how to study & enhance your areas of improvement with compassion, rather than toxic perfectionism - 💖 WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
