About the Intensive
Work with Serena for 6-weeks on the fundamentals of spins: balance, momentum, body awareness, styling, strength, speed, and more! You will move through many different exercises, drills and techniques to find ease and flow in your spins
Do you feel dizzy after a double?
Always feel like you're losing your balance?
Do you want to push yourself to do doubles….triples… quadruples….?
Do you want to spin up a storm?
The Spin Intensive will make spinning fun, accessible and as easy as 5-6-7. Become a spin whizz! Find your center!
What you will work on:
- Break down all the elements of spinning
- Build strength, speed and agility.
- Posture/Presence
- Timing
- Find your center and your spot
- Technique Drills/Exercises
This intensive will introduce you to all salsa spin types: axels, pivots, spot turns, inside, outside, hook turns, compass turns, jazz turns, Joel turns and more. You’ll leave able to do multiple spins, have increased awareness of your body in rotation and understand your frame, posture and axis while spinning. In addition, you will incorporate spinning in partnering and in shines, for both lead and follows.
Each class will be broken down into the components necessary for successful, controlled spins, making each piece accessible and achievable. Keep in mind that this class is for both leads and follows
This includes spotting, strengthening, finding your center, proper knee, foot and frame position, physics of generating momentum, and controlling your rotation, and applying brakes (unfortunately, it’s necessary)...
We’ll turn around your turns and you’ll leave class spinning like a top.
