Joelle Martinec "Fast Car" - Lyrical Online Dance Class/Choreography Tutorial

In this spirited lyrical routine the use of full as well as half counts create the push and pull of hard and soft movement. Find uplifting possibility as the driving emotional force in the first section of choreography which transitions to a sense of a heavier weight of responsibility falling on shoulders during the second section.

Notes
  • Be sure to direct your focus clearly with the movements to create consistent story telling.
  • Listen to both the lyrics as well as the guitar to create the sense of texture in the movements.
  • Find the crisp ends of lines that are hit sharp to contrast the smoothness of the transitions in between.
