Thread the Needle

Gesture leads into virtuosity in this combination, so the bigger movement never feels manufactured. The combination looks at the ways dancers and humans contort themselves to fit the mold, and at the freedom that follows once they stop.

Speed pushes you toward clarity and dynamics. A thread of continuity runs through each gesture. Think of threading a needle: the energy comes through and keeps spiraling.

Turns are single or double. The leg should be long rather than high.
