Advanced Technique 2018

Welcome back (or for the first time) to Advanced Technique as part of the Deakin Dance major.
I'm excited to be back and especially to be working with so many familiar dynamic dancers.

If you are new to this blog you may want to refer back to some of the earlier posts as a way to drop back into our regular dance practice but I will continue to write new posts as ideas and issues arise during this trimester.

Here's the first playlist of the year:

Intro — "Tana Mana" by Ravi Shankar

1. Sleazy warm-up —"You'd be surprised" by Marilyn Monroe

2. Funky foot/moving transfer —"Musicology" by Prince

3. Floor sequence with yoga asanas*(see below) — "I want to hold your hand" by T.V. Carpio
(from the soundtrack of "Across the Universe")

4. Leg brush/centre mover — "Nierika" by Dead Can Dance

5. Small jump — "Jig of Life" by Kate Bush

6. Travel/jump —"Good Morning" by Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor & Gene Kelly
