Finding the Edge - Class One: Exploring the Edges

01:20:14

Finding the Edge - Class One: Exploring the Edges

In this first class, we’ll be exploring initiation points and how to create movement on the edges. We’ll start with barefoot exploration to gain understanding of how our body position impacts the movement of our feet and ankles. We’ll then move into heels work, building our understanding of how to transition over the edge of our shoes and from one edge to the other, with control.

Finding the Edge Class Two: Walks, Waves and Ankle Articulations

01:20:01

Finding the Edge Class Two: Walks, Waves and Ankle Articulations

In this class we’ll start to build some stylisation and articulations into our movement. We’ll explore leg waves with ankle articulations, walking around the pole whilst tracing over the edges, and fundamental weight transfers that we’ll build upon in the rest of the course. This class will enable you to add little edgework nuances and details to your heels play.

Finding the Edge Class Three: Pirouettes

01:27:24

Finding the Edge Class Three: Pirouettes

Pirouettes – a fundamental pole move, but let’s make it edgey! Starting with key pirouette technique, we’ll recap this beautiful move ensuring we’re using our core and leg muscles to the best of their ability, so that you feel strong and stable. We’ll then work through different pirouettes grips, adding edgework to each type. We’ll also begin to explore grounded and tracing edgework, allowing you to feel the physical and textural difference between the two.

Finding the Edge Class Four: Spinning Over The Edge

01:20:37

Finding the Edge Class Four: Spinning Over The Edge

Introducing spins! Spins are a bit different when we’re keeping our feet on the floor, so an understanding of how to find power and momentum is key. We’ll explore different grips, build on our knowledge of initiation points and use this to create momentum, all whilst learning how to create different intentions and textures in our movement. And, of course, we’ll be spinning over different edges of the heels!

Finding the Edge Class Five: Going over the Edge

01:23:09

Finding the Edge Class Five: Going over the Edge

The edgework classics – box breaks and over the edge turns! Building on our foundations, we’ll look a breaks using both legs, one leg, turns, drags and transitioning from one edge to the other. By the end of this class, you’ll understand the technique needed to make these gorgeous moves look smooth and controlled.

Finding the Edge Class Six: Linking the Edges

01:23:00

Finding the Edge Class Six: Linking the Edges

Taking everything we’ve learnt over the past 5 weeks, we’ll work on a sequence, incorporating moves and techniques we now know. This class will give you a chance to exploring linking moves together, playing with grounded and tracing movement, spins, leg work and all the delicious edges. This sequence won’t be set to music, but instead will allow you to find your own style within the edgework movement.
