Head Movement Special

Head movements are a key element of modern dances and when done correctly they feel and look absolutely beautiful!

Zouk Jena invites you to work together on your head movement technique and safe execution of the stunning head rolls, flicks and tilts.

This workshop is designed for everyone who wants to:

• Learn head movements for the first time
• Learn how to lead head movements
• Deepen and train their head movement technique
• Upgrade their leading skills by understanding head movement mechanics in their own body

The first day will focus on solo training:

• Head movement projection technique
• Preparing your body
• Chest mobility, frame and lower back strength
• Airplane vs. tilted turns or “the 4 types of head movements”

The second day will focus on partner work:

• Gentle head movement leading
• Entrances and exits
• Combining head movements with easy steps
• Using your frame to communicate

What you (don’t) need:

• You should be confident in Zouk basic steps and simple turns (if you want to participate without prior Zouk experience, leave us a comment in the registration form and we’ll try to find a suitable solution)
• You don’t need to bring a dance partner
• Coffee ☕️ and some snacks 🍪 will be provided
