THE PROMPT:

The second Finding Your Freestyle Challenge for Instagram: Foot Work! This is a refinement challenge, it’s super challenging and fun!

Here are your tips:
1) Position your camera so that you can only see your feet (maybe hips down at most, use a friend to tape if you have trouble!)
2) Focus on the way your feet interact with the floor; how do you like to walk, what is your floor connection like? Heavy? Light? Dragging? Springy? Sticky? Loose? Tense? Playful? Try ’em all!
3) Feel free to try simple walks or include spins and transitions, don’t forget directional changes! (Shoes??? Socks??? Bare??)

This is a great challenge to create improvised fancy footwork and really SEE what is happening below in detail. Are you neglecting your feet and traveling transitional work? Can you extend further, change your pacing, play with non-traditional lines? Tell a story about the music with your feet.

As always, breath, and enjoy taking your time. In-Joy!
