Centre work

Centre work develops the ability to move in space in a variety of ways. The skills that are developed include balance, shifting weight (from centre to off-centre and return to centre), preparation for locomotor movements, preparation for elevation, preparation for turn, changing the base of support.

In the centre, the floor no longer aids in support. There is now a need to be focused on body awareness and how it relates to executing the developmental movement correctly. Consequently a higher degree of control is needed for centre work.

In all tasks there should always be a consideration and awareness of safe dance practices and alignment.
