Floor Barre & Dance Technique with Kathryn Ricketts

Floor Barre

This 30min work begins with identifying physical pathways and initiators of movement in the body. The focus is on strengthening core, lengthening muscles from core to extremity, and understanding the relationship between bone, muscle and energy impulses. The pace of this class intensifies, incorporating a focus on strength, duration and cardiovascular conditioning. Harnessing a range of techniques, Kathryn works athletically with changing levels and working with the floor as a partner, ending the class with movement sequences that bridge this work from floor to standing.

Dance Core (Technique)

Dance Core is an ongoing series of dance technique classes and unique movement approaches dedicated to professional development. Cultivate your unique approach through a mix of somatic practices and contemporary dance techniques.
