This is a physiological training from a dance perspective, aiming to harness and refine an all-round availability for a multitude of movement potentials. It is a very physical ‘technique’ workshop, dealing with coordination, musicality, stamina and adaptability; all approached with an attention to dynamism, finesse, enjoyment, as well as loud bouncy music! Ian’s teaching constantly moves through space, rarely taking the traditional ‘front on’ dance class format. We prepare with group games and improvi-
sations, before embarking upon a sustained development of movement patterns and sequences that start on the floor and gradually build to upright locomotion and finally lead to explosive jumps and inversions.
