Student spotlight with Leonyra from March’s progressive program ✨
The video on the left was from a drop-in back in December, the first time she learned this choreography. The video on the right was after 4 weeks of my progressive heels program.
And the difference is so so good 🥹
You can see more confidence, increased body awareness, stronger musicality, stronger lines, textures, more facial expression, and more intention in the spaces between the moves. Instead of rushing through the choreography or second guessing, she looks way more sure of herself. She also even added her own unique and personal flavor to it🥰
Leonyra’s post program reflection:
“As someone who is very new to heels, whenever I come to a drop-in, I feel like I’m mostly mimicking the moves. With the four-week program, I was able to learn the choreography and then figure out how it lives in my body 🌱✨
I signed up seeking more body awareness and facial expression, and well… the proof is in the pudding!”
That right there is a big part of why I created this program!
So proud of you, Leonyra!! The growth is undeniable, and it was beautiful getting to watch it happen. Thanks for trusting the process and me. I loved having you!❤️
