One of my favourites - A long, rolling leg lift! Here’s a short session with 3 drills to help you with your technique. Wow, some of these are tough!
Lots to think about:
- Your posture. How are you holding yourself? Try lifting your leg out at different heights & take notice of when you’re maybe trying to lift too high.
- Be mindful of your back knee! I know these lifts are tough but try your very best to keep your back leg as straight as you can. This will also help with your posture!
- There is a nice rolling action to these lifts. Your goal is to make them flow.
- Control your leg not only on the way up but on the way down.
As always it’s great to try these on the spot drills in front of a mirror or record yourself to increase your awareness.
Good luck dancers. Feel the burn & enjoy this session. Remember that you’re aiming for progress, not perfection.
I’ll see you in my next video,
Lauren xx
