This workshop focuses mainly on the dancer’s relationship with the floor. The class utilizes simple movement patterns that involve breathing, speed and the release of energy throughout the body in order to activate the relationship between the center and the joints, moving in and out of the ground more efficiently by maintaining a centered state. There is a focus on the skeletal structure that will help improve the dancers  physical perception and alertness. The class includes partnering work  and movement phrases, which explore the primary laws of physics: cohesion and expansion.

The  body is constantly spiraling, whether running or standing. These spirals help the dancers into the floor and out of the floor. These  spirals already exist; this workshop focuses on finding them. To activate these spirals, students locate their center and move all of  their joints from this center. Arms, legs, hands, toes, elbows, feet  become extensions of the center. The spirals propel the class all over the room, both on the ground and upright. This is the flying low technique.
