Welcome to Move & Groove 9with Melissa McCabe. This class develops balance, rhythm, and coordination through progressive movement sequences that build both strength and control.
The class begins with Still in Motion, an energetic sequence that activates the standing leg and builds momentum for the rest of the class. Around the World – Extension focuses on abdominal strength and spinal stability, while Frog Legs reinforces turnout awareness and clear alignment. The class concludes with Temps Levé, promoting correct jump mechanics and smooth, controlled landings.
A vibrant and well-rounded progression that connects control, musicality, and dynamic strength.
Tips for Teachers:
Emphasise even weight placement during standing work.
Encourage turnout from the hips, not the knees or feet.
In jumping work, cue softness through the feet and controlled landings.
