Beginner A La Seconde Clinic
Unlock the power of the "turn in second" in this focused 1-hour technical intensive. Designed for dancers ready to move beyond basic pirouettes, this clinic breaks down the mechanics of turning with a leg in second position.

What we’ll cover:
The "Tabletop" Hold : Proper 90-degree leg placement and turnout.
Spotting & Power: Coordination of the head and arms to maintain momentum.
Core Stability: Drills to keep the torso centered and avoid "leaning."
The Plie-Relevé: Mastering the weight transfer and "down-up" rhythm.

Perfect for beginners looking to build a strong foundation and gain the confidence to string multiple rotations together.

Space Ranger Skills: Practice balance and "gravity-defying" leaps in our "To Infinity and Beyond" movement game.
Sheriff’s Badge Craft: A quick break to design a deputy badge or decorate a "property of" sticker for their tap shoes.

Themed Craft: A short break for a story-related craft allows dancers to catch their breath and create a souvenir to take home.

Take your technique to the next level in this fast-paced, 1-hour intensive designed for dancers who have mastered the basics and are ready for precision and power.

Vertical Alignment: Advanced core drills to eliminate "leaning" and stabilize the supporting hip under pressure.
Precision Transitions: Mastering the transition from a la secondes into clean double or triple pirouettes.
Height & Placement: Strengthening the adductors to keep the working leg consistently at or above $90^\circ$ without dropping the heel.
