This class invites dancers to “reset” the body through myofascial release, gently letting go of long-held tension and restoring natural movement. We begin with the plantar fascia and calves to rebuild a stable foundation. Then we release the front and inner thighs, glutes, and iliopsoas along the deep front line to allow greater freedom in leg extension. Finally, we address the often-overlooked latissimus dorsi to ease back tension and improve fluidity in turns and transitions. In one hour, experience a deep dialogue with your fascia—clearing physical restrictions and moving with greater ease.
