Travelling Isolations

An isolation and musicality exercise on moving different parts of the body at different tempos. Move different parts of your body at different speeds. The feet move in half time while the head goes at tempo. It's a good test of isolations and counting music.

Work from the top down: head, shoulders, ribs and hips. Each one goes front, side, back, side, then circles. Do it in place first, then on a walk, then on a jazz square. Isolations keep you detailed and sharp.

Staccato at first, then smooth. Reverse it, and give it an ending.
