Floorwork Lab with Bunny Level 1

You've asked and here it is!

During workshops we don't really get the chance to get into the nitty-gritty of floorwork, such as perfecting your form, core exercises and positioning so you can get safely and consistently into and out of poses and tricks.

This series will be building blocks that will get you to the next level, wherever you are. You can join the whole group of lessons (recommended if you've never done floorwork or have just done a couple of workshops), or you can join one class which will touch the topic you're interested in the most.

Level 1 will cover the following:

Jan 23 - Core and flexibility - being flexible is NOT a requirement for floorwork but oh boy, does it help! I will show you a routine that, if repeated at home consistently, will help you strengthen your core and get you to touch the floor with your legs straight real soon! We will also cover a few basic ways of getting to the floor and getting up - nicely, of course! Last but not least, different ways depending on what footwear you have.

Jan 30 - We will warm up using the routine I taught you the previous class and repeat the moves to go down and come up you've learned, and we will find modifications that will work for you if you have any limitations (like injuries or anything that keeps you from doing the moves). My goal is to teach you to find modifications yourself so you have a reliable process you can apply on your own. We will then focus on body and leg waves.

Feb 6 - Our focus will be on straightening and bending moves, as well as weight distribution on the floor. What are the main balance points you should use on the floor? How does microbending or keeping limbs straight affect floorwork? We will then learn different windmills / fan kicks and circular movements on the floor.

Feb 13 - We put it all together on a short routine! Focusing on the moves you've learned through the past weeks we will dance and I will assess your progress. I will tell you what you, individually, need to work on next.

Feb 20 - Adding flare and performing: of course this one wouldn't be out! We repeat the same choreography learned in the past class and I teach you some guidelines on how to add your style and own flare to it. Then we perform! Alone or in small groups (depending on how many we are) I will give you different music so you can show everything you've learned. I will again assess your progress and give you personal feedback.

Other info:

• This course will be taught in English (but I can answer your questions in German as always!)
• You'll need knee pads - and leggings are recommended as they easen the movement on the floor
• The classes will be recorded. If you wish to come to Lab level 2, 3 and so on you'll need to be able to execute the movements from level 1 well, and if not you'll be able to buy the recording to learn them before you join other levels. If you book the full course and can't make it to one class you'll get the recording as well
• As we need space and I want this course very focused, we'll only offer 6 spots per course
• You can do the classes in socks, heels or pleasers
