We Study + We Practice = We Train.

How do we modify the embrace?

How, when, in what way, and at what moment?
ADAPTABILITY to the partner’s/duo’s body and to the composition of the movements.

ENTERING THE CODE

We first approach from below, starting from the feet, then we begin to create the hold, the embrace from the hands. HANDS = TEXTURE.
Change the embrace, change the hand connection.

3 EMBRACES

As a way of study and practice, we focus on the details of 3 ‘types’ of embrace—all very close, changing the link and muscular tone. We call them: 1 round, 2 neutral, and 3 the largest.

EXPAND THE RANGE | LAYERS OF UNDERSTANDING – connection.

Proximity gives us more range of movement, enabling greater possibilities for coordination and synchronization (internal bounce/elasticity).

Visiting the same concept multiple times unlocks different layers of understanding. Sensitive and aesthetic levels. THAT too has been trained.

We work through all this using a sequence with a cross step and a big pause in the cross. Modifying the embrace with precise, technical, and sensitive guidelines.

‘We do deliberate practice to master the task, not to finish it.’
