In this workshop, participants will be brought through a series of animal flow drills to open their capacity of strength, flexibility and texture in moving through floorwork. With an emphasis on 'down rock' from Breaking, House, Capoeria and Limon, participants will be challenged with ground level puzzlework and vertical stability. This class draws on the teachings of Antony Hamilton, Emmalena Fredrickson, and Daniel Ninarello.
Please wear baggy pants and long sleeves for ease of class movement.
