Welcome to Move & Groove 9 – Junior Level, guided by Melissa McCabe. This class builds core and upper body strength, coordination, and technical precision in a focused warm-up.

Obliques with Legs opens the class by targeting the obliques and building a strong, stable torso — the foundation for greater freedom of movement across all dance work. Turnout Sync develops foot and leg coordination while deepening awareness and stability through the supporting side. Torso Strength deepens the connection between the back, shoulders, and arms, building the strength and awareness that underpin fluid, controlled port de bras. The class closes with Jeté Preparation Solo, focusing on correct weight placement and safe, controlled landing technique — laying the groundwork for clean, confident jumps.

Tips

In Turnout Sync, cue awareness of the supporting side throughout — the working leg can only be as precise as the support allows.

Jeté Preparation Solo is about quality over energy — cue correct weight placement and a controlled landing through the foot every single time.
