Adapted for a community of movement practitioners, the class is one hour in length and does not require a dance background.
The FoCo X ONE class is conducted in a follow-long method following Three-Stage structure: Activating — establishing the connections between mind and body, Rooting — finding footing and building grounded sensation and Mapping — recognizing the transitions and pathways of movement sequence. FoCo X ONE class is a unique approach to movement practice and fitness by exploring essential principles of FoCo Technique™ such as resistance, flow, groundedness, dynamic and musicality. The class encourages participants to experience the joy of expression through accessible movement forms. A cumulative movement sequence will follow the final stage — Mapping — in each FoCo X ONE class.
