Mastering Spins, Slides & Drags
A deep dive into the technique behind some of edgework’s smoothest movements.
Service Description
Spin, slide and drag your way through the edge - with control, momentum and precision. In this bespoke 90-minute masterclass, Emily Laura breaks down the mechanics behind these smooth, deceptively technical movements and shows you how to apply them across a variety of edgework shapes and pathways. You’ll explore how to actively use your ankles and heels, how to distribute your weight to create smooth movement, how to generate and manage momentum, and, just as importantly, how to control the stop. You’ll then apply these techniques to a selection of Emily Laura’s unique edgework movements, developing the control and understanding needed to make spins, slides and drags feel fluid rather than forced. Equipment: a pole, pole heels (8 inches is recommended), and a yoga block Level: some pole heels experience and comfortable with beginners spins (such a chair, fireman, and pirouettes)
