Aimed at the beginner or the more advanced dancer wishing to revisit and strengthen elementals, this course goes back to basics: over six weeks, we will become acquainted with the conditioning required to build the body for tribal fusion movement, and also be introduced to drills for building muscle memory of the fundamental movements. All new students must register for Elemental Movements before doing other courses.
By the end of the course, dancers will be acquainted with the basic components of the tribal fusion movement vocabulary, and will also have some practice integrating them into combinations. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat.

For students who have completed the Elemental Movement course, it’s time to practice the tribal fusion movement vocabulary to build a solid foundation in muscle memory.

9 September – 14 October: Combinations & Experimentation @ Urdang Academy
Thursday nights, 6:30pm-8:00pm; 6-Week Course £60, Drop-in £12 – To register, click HERE.
Aimed at the dancer familiar with tribal fusion, this class is intended for students who have completed the Elemental Movement and Pure Drills courses, and are seeking to expand their range of movement in the tribal fusion vocabulary and gain a sense of how movements work together.
Over six weeks, we will put technique into practice–honing moves through drills designed to get you improvising and building combinations for dance. Each class will deal with a handful of moves and ideas in detail, and through these we will explore concepts essential to constructing one’s own choreography, such as musicality, transferring movement, and fluidity in improvisation.
Classes may be taken as a course, or on a drop-in basis, though there are ongoing projects within the course from week to week. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat.
That’s all for now! I hope all is well with you, and if you need more information, get in touch!
