Guided by the wonderful Melissa McCabe, Class 3 focuses on foundational exercises that establish the technical and proprioceptive skills of sub-junior students. This class uses resistance bands to support proper alignment and encourage safe movement exploration, ensuring a strong base for future progress.
The class includes:
Foundation Demi Plié: Introducing essential turnout and alignment principles.
Pas de Bourrée: Developing smooth weight transfers and coordination.
Balancé Foundation: Building balance and rhythmic flow.
Port de Bras Enhancement: Expanding arm movement fluidity and grace.
Foot Articulation Extension: Strengthening and improving flexibility in the feet.
Band Stretch: A safe and mindful full-body stretch to finish the class.
Encourage students to self-regulate their band stretch intensity and avoid applying external pressure. Students should feel in control of their movements and stretches at all times.
