WEEK 8 (May 07)

🕳 Marlo Fisken: Floor Flow Slosh Fest:
The more supported you are by the ground, the more you can relax into your aquatic movement.
Every contact point initiates ripples of sensuous motion.

FEATURES BREAKDOWN

▶️ Pre-Recorded Tutorials:

20-25 minutes where an Instructor explains and teaches the elements of a specific style and any concept / technique within the style.

🗣 Personalized Video Feedback: Members share a video of themselves dancing, typically within the framework of that week’s topic. In return, the Instructor will respond with video feedback demonstrating where to improve and homework, catered specifically to that member. This is often where some of the most radical improvement occurs for members.

👯 LIVE Guided Cyber Sessions: 1/2 Lesson, 1/2 Freestyle Flow/Explore.

•Lesson Segment: Basically, a specific technique, concept, and/or style is taught for 20-30 minutes.

•Explore / Freestyle Flow Segment: Then for another 20-30 minutes, we explore on our own.

•During this time, the Instructor will do 1 of 3 things:

1). Drill / Repeat a technique if any student cares to follow along

2). Freestyle (improvise) the technique or concept recently taught but slowly so students may choose to follow along

3). Freely freestyle all the possible variations of the technique or concept just taught. This is to demonstrate the potential one can reach within this style.

💥 (BONUS) Practice Drill Video: Short demonstration of a few of the key techniques relevant to that week’s topic and/or Tutorial.

👥 SkiLLz Squadz: Peer support in a group w/ 4-6 other iLL SkiLLerz

•From this feature: Crews throughout the 🌎 have been formed. Strong friendships have been forged. And that extra community support has helped people’s practice become all the more valuable. No matter where you live, you’re not alone.

⛈ LIVE Dream Activ8R Session: A weekly mastermind to share aspirations, dreams, visions, goals, and struggles in regard to dance or any aspects of life.

•This is meant to create for each individual member a clear and ongoing list of steps to reach your milestones. We all have a genius within that becomes far more achievable to unlock when we’re held in a supportive group of peers. Peers who are moving in different but similar directions. This is where massive inner change occurs.
