Heels Technique

About this event

This class dives deep into the art of edgework and heelwork, exploring how the entire body is used to manipulate your edges and create texture. Expect focused work on heel glides, drags, pirouettes, and transitions, along with a practical breakdown of both shoe and human anatomy so you understand both the how and why behind each movement. Your heels are both a new apparatus and an extension of the limbs. Platform heels 7” or taller recommended; both sandals and heels are suitable, but students may find it easier to access end-ranges in sandals. Please bring socks. Pre-Reqs: Students should be comfortable with basic spins, split grip, baseball grip, and braced grip, and some material may incorporate shoulder mount–based positions for those comfortable.
