Heels

About this event

Open level Heels class where students learn the fundamentals of walk & dancing in heels! Class focuses on the lines of the body, foot placement and fluidity through transitions. When making a pose or extending legs and arms, the line of the body should stretch completely through the the limbs to create dynamic energy in the shapes and also the movement. Even in a closed toed shoe, your foot should still be actively pointing through the shoe as if you were barefoot so that the line is complete. As with foot placement, we will stress over and over again the importance of keeping the weight over the big toe or inside edge of the shoe so that your feet are not sickled! What to BringShoes: Sturdy heels with ankle support (booties or character shoes work best for beginners; avoid thin stilettos if you are new). Make sure the heels are non-marking. Attire: Comfortable clothing you can move in easily, like leggings and a tank top, or something that makes you feel confident. Extras: Knee pads (optional for floor work) and a water bottle to stay hydrated.
