Organic vs. Inorganic Movement

Our dance style has a rich variety of movement - much of which I think of as “organic” - an extension of how we move our bodies in everyday life. We also have a lot of “inorganic” movement - this is the stuff that looks super-cool and weird - and it’s because we don’t usually move our bodies in this way.

When we are moving our bodies from a strong yet mobile base, our movements are cleaner, bigger, crispier, more fluid. Without the strength and flexibility to support both these types of movement we run the risk of injury.

It doesn’t need to be an arduous task - 5 minutes is a great starting point! Let me know in the comments what cross-training you are doing today to nourish your body and support your dance practice!
