Down Up Traveling
This grounded traveling exercise works on level changes, direction changes and basics of classic jazz movement. Slide down to second, squeeze up to first, slide back down, then pop the foot into tendu, side to side.
Then the direction changes to downstage and upstage. A triplet goes up, up, down. Stay low in the pivot turn so it stays quick and grounded. Whatever the travel, the face and body stay lifted.
