Carving Workshop: Edgework, Foundations, and Freestyle Tools
Level: Intro to Intermediate
Duration: 2 hours
Focus: Learning five to six edgework pathways and weaving them into a complete choreo
Prerequisites: A solid pirouette and the ability to lift yourself off the ground in a forearm or split grip for at least five seconds
Shoes: 8-inch platform heels are highly recommended for the best range and control (7-inch is doable, but 8-inch makes a huge difference). Open-toe or sandal styles are ideal. Fabric boots allow for more ankle mobility unless you have broken-in pleather ones.

Several new edgework sequences
A full choreography to take home
