Class 8, led by Jenna Roberts, is a fusion ball warm-up that builds progressively on movement patterns developed in previous sessions. It begins with a dynamic cardio-based coordination sequence to enhance musicality and engage the whole body. The class then moves into targeted core and upper-body strength, and finishes with alignment-focused work in à la seconde.
Students should be familiar with foundational techniques before attempting this class, as the exercises are more demanding and layered.
Tips:
Encourage awareness of breath control in the first exercise to support timing and stamina.
During the Fusion Pike, guide students to push through their arms and avoid collapsing into their shoulders.
Continuously reinforce cues for spinal and pelvic alignment throughout all exercises.
