Dance Floor Work Tricks - Fun & Easy Contemporary Moves!

Hi loves! Today, Matt and I are coming at you with contemporary dance floor work. We break down 4 floor work tricks and then put them all together in a floor work combo at the end. We start off with an inversion, it's basically a flexibility dance flip to the floor. Next is the Z-Sit Pike Throw which is a fancy dance stretch move. Next is the Chug Knee Spin which is a really fun way to incorporate a dance turn into floor movements. Last is the Shoulder-Up which is more of a contortion type acro move. Then the floor work choreography phrase mashes all of them together into a fun phrase you can do to any kind of music!

[@AlterBound]

Love this! In general, when you say the moves can be modified to any level, is there any way you can sometimes throw in what a beginner, intermediate, and advanced modification might look like? As a beginner, I sometimes struggle picturing what the beginner (well..intermediate and advanced too haha) might look like. Thanks!!
