Move & Groove 10, guided by Melissa McCabe, develops strength, coordination, and precision through grounded and progressive movement.
The class begins with Diamonds with Core, strengthening the abdominals and adductors to stabilise the pelvis and spine. Turnout Kickstart follows, introducing dynamic turnout activation in a supported sideways position. In Placement & Bounce, students explore light, rhythmic movements to reinforce foot articulation and timing. The class concludes with Temps Levé – Extension, combining alignment, control, and elevation to refine coordination and posture.
An energetic and structured class that blends stability, turnout awareness, and developing power for future allegro work.
Teaching Tips:
Emphasise pelvic stability in floor work to prevent shifting or tucking.
In petit sequences, focus on articulation and rhythm over height.
Reinforce controlled transitions between plié, stretch, and rise.
