Physically

We will track your movement progression and stylistic growth. You will have access to weekly pre-recorded classes and will have a check-in with Alleyne Dance halfway through the training to talk about how the sessions went and any questions you have to help for your last half of the programme.

We will work on:

  • Isolations of the body, focusing on where movement begins & how the body responds

  • Hands focusing on how the hands create texture, imagery & memory in movements

  • Spirals focusing on distorting the body, exploring momentum & fluidity in movement

  • Breath focusing on texture of movement & allowing the breath to initiate movement; exploring moments of more effort & moments to do less; acknowledging when to release & do less

  • Undulation focusing on qualities, finding a groove in movement; exploring how the physicality can create an emotion

The Programme
