Prop Balancing (Sword/ Tray/ book/ Anything!)
Tuesday, 2/10
7:30-8:30pm
Looking for inner peace, improved posture, and smooth technique?
Your mind and your body will be focused in our prop balancing pop up!
The physical act of balancing a prop on your head (or any other body part!) will give you mental and emotional balance as it requires your mind to be silent and your entire focus to go towards this challenging skill.
In this special pop up you will work a prop of your choice (tray, sword, book, cane, bottle…) and learn the tricks of balancing it on various body parts, and gradually introduce walking, dancing, changing levels, and even spinning with it!
While this is a very impressive party trick to whip out for your next family gathering or on stage for your next performance, it’s so much more spiritual and deeper than that- it will teach you to TRUST YOURSELF which will give you confidence and INNER BALANCE.
As a bonus, practicing your moves while keeping your stillness as you balance a prop will improve your posture and polish your isolations. Let’s go, multiple birds in one shot!!
You do not need any kind of experience, only the desire to learn something new, take your dance to the next level, and BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOURSELF!
Sign up now and thank yourself later-
