Joelle Martinec "Into the Open Air" - Lyrical Online Dance Class/Choreography Tutorial

In this heartfelt lyrical routine both the lyrics and the driving strum of the guitar guide the movement expression. As you listen to the build of emotion in the lyrics, think of someone whom you have a relationship with that pushes and pulls. This one is emotionally appropriate for both younger and older dancers.

Notes
  • Piqué out with the supporting leg on the opening passé as well as the enveloppé in the third count of 6 to allow for an easy transition of weight and more of a dynamic movement.
  • Fill up the space with your breath. An inhale will always make a movement lighter and more expansive.
  • On the roll to the floor make sure to move across the floor and not down to the floor. This will make the roll look smoother as well as keep the momentum moving.
