WORLD OF ARMS VOL II
TEXTURES & DYNAMICS
In this volume we mainly work with free improvisation in order to focus on different qualities such as textures (tension - release) and dynamics (slo-mo - fractionating - speed). Working on these qualities will help create tension curves, a sense of development in your dance as well as improve overall control over your body movement.

WORLD OF ARMS VOL III
TOUCH
In this volume we work with touch and caress. Both are concepts coming from the vogue dance style. We touch and caress our body and the space around to highlight specific moments, to invite the audience to pay attention and guide their gaze. We will work on choreographies to practice sophisticated geometric shapes that we can create with these concepts.

CIRCLES & UPPER HEADS
In this volume we are going to explore upper heads and circles. Both concepts are coming from the waacking dance style. Upper heads allow us to create diverse arm movement over the head, while circles are all about rotation of arms. We will work on set choreographies to perfect the shapes and dynamic movement that we can create with these concepts.
