About This Video
" This session isn't just a standard class; it's a deep dive into character-driven choreography that blends classical technique with the flair of a Broadway matinee. As you step into the studio, prepare to work through a routine that celebrates independence and the vibrant social lives of women. Throughout this practice, you will master a complex dance piece that requires both physical stamina and theatrical expression.
We explore specific motifs like the "glove" sequence, the "captain," and rhythmic "brush" steps. The choreography tells a story, referencing the "coffee of life," flipping through a "magazine," and the general hustle of a day spent at the gym or getting fitted for couture. We even include a celebratory "toast" to honor the hard work of all the dancers.
Expect to break a sweat! This routine is designed for high physical exertion, ensuring you get a full-body workout while perfecting your performance. Our choreographer encourages everyone to be expressive—don't be afraid to add a bit of sass to your port de bras or a sharp focus to your gaze.
While gloves, a hat, and sunglasses are optional, they certainly add to the "Ladies Who Lunch" aesthetic and help you embody the character fully. Whether you are practicing at home or in a studio, this video provides the structure needed to learn a complete routine from start to finish. We focus on musicality, ensuring every movement aligns with the catchy, upbeat soundtrack.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a polished piece of choreography and a newfound confidence in your ability to perform with character and style. Grab your barre, clear some space, and let’s play!
