Imagery in Irish Dance: Amplify your training to improve technique, build confidence and improve consistency without ever breaking a sweat! In this workshop you’ll learn and practice fundamentals to imagery training and how they can be optimized in the Irish dance environment. -Dr Mitch
Grab your journals! Let’s discuss ways in which we can enhance our presence on stage.
Make sure to pop back and watch Part 1 🙂 Enjoy learning and being kind to yourselves folks!
Just incase you wonder what Mitch is talking about at the very beginning – because of some tech issues we trimmed 5 mins off of the beginning whilst Mitch was figuring it out. #sillymitch lol
Ok, grab your pen and journals and let’s learn.
As Mitch says when he’s asked about what will help a dancer’s mind before they go on stage.. “It depends.” And of course it does because we are all so different. Let’s see what we can do to help our unique self.
In this class I encourage body gratitude, acceptance, we do the cyclic breath for calm and focus as well as a full body mobility sequence, then we set a goal and intention for the day or dance class. A nice little boost I hope! It can be easy to get swept up in the challenges that dance can bring, this class might help you to shift perspective a little and bring you back to a place of kindness towards yourself and gratitude. I hope the poem shared, my thoughts and insights as well as the movement piece are good to you. As always, I am interested in your thoughts and feedback 🙂
Yoga blocks might come in handy and a yoga mat. Feel free to spend more time in any particular movement given if you wish.
Enjoy it!
