These skills are important in contemporary as they allow you to hold certain positions such as our lateral T position, which is shown in appendix B and a lot of other balances. ]]> 2018-10-05 16:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tiadavies/ka68yf1710gz/wish/289708046 tiadavies https://padlet.com/tiadavies/ka68yf1710gz/wish/289711258 The following video shows our Lateral T preparation exercise. This exercise is to help improve our balance and to prepare us for our lateral T position which is why we build each step up in the video below. Balance is needed in the industry because the skill is required throughout all genres of dance as it helps you hold different positions with strength and control and makes your movement cleaner and more precise. Nahum taught us this exercise to improve on our balance and allowed us to video it for practice and to view our progression throughout the course.]]> 2018-10-05 16:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tiadavies/ka68yf1710gz/wish/289711258 tiadavies https://padlet.com/tiadavies/ka68yf1710gz/wish/289712437 This exercise is our bend and flat-back exercise which evolved from Martha Graham to improve our posture and alignment.
