Profitraining Kevin Albancando Tuntaquimba
About the training
Popping, Waving & Breaking-Based Floorwork:
In this four-day Profitraining, each day is dedicated to a distinct movement language—Popping, Waving, Breaking-based Floorwork, and Grooves—allowing dancers to explore each style in depth before integrating them into their personal movement practice.
Each morning begins with foundational training to refine groove, isolation, precision, and timing.
Day 1: Popping — Develop the rhythmic pulse and sharp contractions that define the Pop. Explore musicality, precision, and control through drills, accents, and groove.
Day 2: Waving — Learn to guide energy fluidly through the body, expanding range and flow while creating smooth transitions between movements.
Day 3: Breaking-Based Floorwork — Bring texture and dynamic contrast to the floor. Explore pathways, transitions, and grounded power while maintaining clarity and flow.
Day 4: Grooves, House, Toprock & Hip Hop — Reconnect to rhythm and social dance foundations through groove-based drills and step variations that unify the week’s work.
Through partner work, improvisation, and structured exploration, dancers will deepen body awareness, coordination, and creative expression.
