Upper Body Placement and Port de Bras Secrets
How do you get students to have open shoulders and flat shoulder blades? How do you get students to keep the shoulders down when the arms go up? And most importantly, how do you actually teach expressive port de bras to students at all ages?
All that and more will be delved into in this workshop, with unique solutions drawn from sources such as Body-Mind Centering.
