Beginner Foundations and Technique for Heels

About this class

Beginner Foundations and Technique for Heels with Ashley Victoria June 10-July 15 – a six class series Wednesdays 8-9:30pm Drop ins welcome. This all levels class with a focus on beginners is designed to help dancers develop technique and performance presence in heels. Starting from a barefoot warm-up, dancers move through a foundational center and across the floor combinations. Ashley illustrates the importance of having a multi-dimensional technical foundation when approaching dance. Her warm up and exercises emphasize anything from classical ballet technique to core strengthening to nuanced contemporary movement. Ashley’s choreography draws from her diverse training and performance experience and blends classical line and technique with street techniques and her own unique approach to heel movement. Students are encouraged to reach outside their comfort zones and expected to bring a professional work ethic and focus. Musicality, phrasing and integrity of execution are stressed to help students grow in every direction.
