Welcome to Band Class 6 – Senior Level, guided by Nicole Hamill. This class develops strength, coordination and control throughout the body, with a particular focus on the connection between the upper body and the lower body.
Upper Body & Core Connection develops the relationship between the core and arms while opening through the chest and shoulders. Bridge & Upper Body Presses and Core Loop Challenge then combine core strength with arm activation, lateral stability and coordination.
Rond de Jambe & Lat Connection activates the lat muscles while working through different directions of leg extension and maintaining alignment. T-Balance & Rotation challenges single-leg balance through leg extension and spinal rotation, engaging the core and obliques.
The class continues with Mini-loop Scissors & Échappé and Seated Adductor Flow, developing lower body strength, coordination and mobility. Arabesque Reach & Spiral finishes the class by combining posterior chain strength with thoracic extension and spinal rotation.
