Strong Legs, Open Mind
An improvisation exercise across the floor where you stay in one level the whole way. Pick a lunge or a deep plié and do not rise above it.
Because the options are limited, your legs get stronger and your artistry gets more room to find ways through. Come up in transitions if you must, then return.
Keep your eyes up, even when you're close to the floor. The room around you is part of the dance.
For more challenge, add floor work, then jumps.
