The body is a straight line and you can do everything with it." Matt Mattox (Danceadvantagenet, 2017)


Matt Mattox was Heavily influenced by jack Cole, whom we know is one of the dance Gods, and this really shows in his work which is a vibrant mix of rock solid technique, the gracefulness and beauty of ballet and the sexiness and sharpness of jazz and Isolations. 

This quote also Relates to Eric's classes as he talks about alignment and we do lots of isolations.]]> 2017-04-19 09:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/166962243 jademoniquemcnally https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174309677 2017-05-29 23:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174309677 jademoniquemcnally https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174309938 2017-05-29 23:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174309938 jademoniquemcnally https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174310010 Here is a recent picture of me and my Class mates box splits this is an improvement massively. flexibility is a transferable skill and a crucial part of being a versatile dancer. Also here you can see me in the comfort of my own home last year around August. As you can probably see this is a massive improvement and I am very proud of myself.

The benefits of stretching include increased flexibility, stronger technique, improved lines and body awareness, and advanced self‐discipline."

I found this a while ago and and used it since it has really helped shape my feet and keep them strong. I have noticed my feet and amongst the minority in the class to not have been injured, luckily.   (Dancescapecom, 2017)

You can see strength and dynamics, this made the piece exciting to watch. I also enjoyed the music choice. Definitely worth a watch from any training and/or professional dancer.(Youtubecom, 2017) ]]> 2017-05-29 23:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174310156 jademoniquemcnally https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174310239 Here is a very advanced demonstration of Matt Mattox. This shows the isolation's at a level I am not yet capable of reaching being in my first year. At shock out we also do hip and arm isolation's as you will see in the video, I mentioned in my essay just how difficult these are and how good they are for strength.  (Youtubecom, 2017)]]> 2017-05-29 23:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174310239 jademoniquemcnally https://padlet.com/jademoniquemcnally/eih4kewyvb6c/wish/174310252 As well and the core techniques we study in Shockout, some like myself study outside Shockout. I enjoy jazz classes outside of uni and attend Fosse based classes which I find helps me move my body the exact way the teacher is asking. Fosse is very precise and technical. The interesting thing about Fosse is majority of it rejects ballet technique, have a look at this video. (Youtubecom, 2017)
