5. Practice
Practice makes progress! Freestyling is a challenge and requires just as much attention as fonjis and handsprings. Start your freestyle with eyes closed, feel your breath, the floor, the pole, move without looking at yourself in a mirror. Clear your mind or use those emotions to guide your movement. Record yourself and watch it after, you’ll be surprised what you find. Sometimes you’ll only like 10 seconds of dance to a 4 minute song, but eventually 10 seconds, will turn to 15, 20, 30 seconds. |
