Instructor Tools: Musicality

It’s all about the barre3 beats.

In every barre3 class, we use certain rhythms within our ranges of motions.  These beats allow our clients to never plateau and find new ways to connect even deeper to their body.

SROM beats:

  • pulse
  • Down an inch, up an inch
  • 2 count

LROM:

  • “to the beat”
  • 2 count
  • 4 count

 

Below are drills to take your musicality to the next level.

Find the 1:  This Drill will help you locate the 1 of the 8 count.  When you can find the 1, you will also find the downbeat, and land your movement on the musical phrase change.
