STRUCTURE
World of Kicks is a course based on variations, tricks, musicality around a simple move – kick. Turning it, twisting, playing with time signatures, form, etc.
8 chapters and In each chapter I
- break down the technique of the specific way/ timing/ direction of kicking
- explaining go the body movement
- exploring of the work of arms
- give a practice information
- give one or several choreographies to a specific tune by Michael Gamble & Rhythm Serenaders 5
- demonstrate choreos & movements from the front & from the back
- have a full breakdown of each choreography with tips on styling & musicality
- provide the music for practice
Chapters are organized by the way I variate the kicks (form, time, etc).
In each chapter, I explain the variation principle, show the options and then give a chore to learn.

HOW TO USE?
Go chronologically to get all the material. Learn chores in the order I prepared. If you jump to Double Time Kick choreo, but you’ve just learning Squats, you will be missing out tons of information.
WHERE TO START?
Definitely start with Acquaintance with Kicks. Let’s sort out the ABC and get to the same level of speaking about them.
If you a beginner – it is essential. If you are intermediate, you will improve your technique. If you are advanced – you’ll refine your movement & find out tips, an element that you maybe didn’t think about and it’s always refreshing and curious to hear how other dancers use the moves. If you are a teacher, all the above + you can grab some thought and ideas of how to explain the moves to your students.
MUSIC TO PRACTICE
Something very special about this course is that I did it in collaboration with this great band! One of my favorite swinging current bands in the scene. Under each chapter and video, you will have a link to the specific tune and timing I was using. They are simply fantastic!
