Floor Fixed Point: 1 Arm (Part 1)

It is sometimes difficult to not understand the potential of a constraint within your body's reach. One small constraint can add more variety to the visual you are trying to show and it adds more vocabulary to your own dance. I explored this by fixing my right arm to the ground and tried to play with space while keeping the fixed point active.

Throughout this video, I used mostly foundation footwork and a customized go down to showcase this concept.

This can expand with other parts of the body like the left arm, the head, legs and upper back. Plus, depending of your environment, you can use objects to act as fixed points too. Fixed points can also be used on different levels like the ground, the footwork stance, toprock stance, mid stance and more... 

Extra Tip: Be sure to go slow when using a concept and understand the habits you come back too when exposed to a constraint like a fixed point. 

It is also possible that you may have seen this concept used in popping or different styles. Everything is connected.
