Day 2: Hip and chest slides and twist Every accomplished dancer knows the secret to advancing your craft is mastery of the fundamentals. From there, creativity and expression flow freely. Without that foundation, the body is stifled and expression is stymied. Dancers at all points in their dance journey need consistent and focused practice of the fundamentals. Strong foundational concepts and muscle engagement are necessary to maintain dance conditioning and to advance. Our bodies are always in flux, making it essential to move and dance everyday, especially as we age. Practicing the fundamentals of dance movement is key to maintaining and gaining strength, grace and improving your confidence.

Focused and structured practice that explores variations and dynamics of the basics is how dancers often make breakthroughs. 30 Minutes a Day for 30 Days!
