Undercurrent offers a dive into the vigor, mechanics, and joyride of floorwork through a seamless and immersive physical practice. In these classes, movers will be guided through a continuous stream of sequences, each utilizing the body’s architecture to make progressively challenging movement comfortable, playful, strengthening, and sustainable. As the flow gathers momentum, these concepts grow in complexity and dynamic range. We prioritize biomechanical safety and energetic efficiency in service of full-body engagement, innovative inversions, and fluid choreographic sequencing.
