Horton technique dance workshop
The focus in today’s workshop is to understand what the Horton technique is and to
improve my strength and flexibility. We worked towards technique and took part in
numerous warm ups and exercises that tested our abdominal strength and our body
alignment. In particular we stretched our bodies by straightening our back and reaching our
arms out either side whilst keeping our feet in first, firm and straight. Though our
movement we also implemented; tilts, turns and twists. I soon discovered my strengths and
weaknesses during this workshop, strengths being that I withheld my position as my upper
body power was good and I could keep firm, however my weaknesses was muscle memory,
having to remember the order in which we initiate these warm ups and also I struggled with
implementing movement. For example at one point we were asked to skip across the floor
then when hitting the middle of our skip to bounce with a straight back in the air, due to my
weakness in muscle memory and controlling body posture whilst moving I didn’t excel in
this. To ensure improvement I will keep on practicing controlling my body alignment as well
as reciting new and old dances to improve my capability in remembering dances and the
orders they come in. I feel I have made progress in this workshop as I tested my own
strengths and learnt a lot more about body alignment as it can be implemented into any
movement to look more clean, well-rehearsed and precise.
In these images you can see I’m able to hold the position testing my core and back strength,
I found these exercises rewarding as you felt it testing your muscles during and after, hence
why I made sure I kept hold of the strong posture alongside my peers.
