Joelle Martinec "Opening Up" - Theatre Dance / Jazz Online Dance Class/Choreography Tutorial

Bright, happy and fun, this intermediate Theatre Dance routine celebrates the ordinary. There are sections that are brisk. Be efficient with your movements. They will be dynamic with out a lot of extras.

Notes
  • Be clear in the gestural movements. "You enter...", be invitational. "Heartbeats", let those beat out of your chest.
  • Stay grounded. There are some quick direction changes. At the start of the chorus think about the hips when you are doing the ball change into the battement.
  • Allow yourself to have fun. Be careful not to get to bouncy with the music.
