Body Movement Fundamentals with Jenna

In this class, we will use imagery, opposition and breath to help us with finding flow and control over our centre. I will go through basic movements such as body rolls, windmill turns and spinal articulations. Class will begin with a brief warmup, followed by a breakdown of basic body movements and finish with a combo. We will dance to bachata music, but the movements taught can be useful for many dance styles such as bachata, salsa, heels, waacking and hustle.
