Description

Alicia Head has identified key concepts related to training more awareness, proprioception, and deep connection to the structures that facilitate turnout in the dancer. She uses helpful visuals to demonstrate the anatomy, bone rhythms, and sensations in the body that bring a more integrated approach to training.

Learn how to spot common postural misalignments, how to address them, and how they are all related to poor control of turnout. This whole-body approach; breath, bones, fascia, and muscles can be harnessed to change the way instructors think about, cue and instruct this important concept in the dance community.

Objectives

  • Obtain tools to correct faulty alignment that is more integrated & less compartmentalized.
  • Create awareness of the musculature and bone rhythms necessary to support turnout.


Concepts & Techniques

  • Common faulty alignments in dancers
  • How the breath can create more ease and less rigidity in the dancer
  • How bone rhythms of the lower leg in particular can impede or enhance access to turnout
