Floor work

Floor work is an important aspect of the development of body skills. When developing technique through class exercises or performing movements sequences on the floor, the problem of having to defy gravity is eliminated. Movement exercises can be performed which develop strength, flexibility, control, balance, and body and kinaesthetic awareness without the problems of having to move against gravity or to balance on a small base of support.

As floor work has the least amount of impact on the body, it is usually done at the beginning of a class so that the muscles are given time to warm-up and therefore be better able to absorb the impact of centre, locomotor and aerial work.
In all tasks there should always be a consideration and awareness of safe dance practices and alignment.
