Class Description:
Troy's Adv-Beg Horton Class consists of 5 parts; Warm up (roll downs, flat backs, laterals), floor work (stretching and strengthening), across the floor (continued stretch and elongation of the muscles), center work (Horton studies and fortifications), and a combination (short choreographic work, using movement from the class).
This will be taught using descriptive language and fun insights. All lessons will be taught with a variety of music. This also includes music for Horton clases as taught and recorded by Ana Marie Forsythe. "
