WHAT IS THE AXIS SYLLABUS?
The Axis Syllabus is a method of teaching people how to move safely. It uses basic physics, applied anatomy and a spiraling, circular vocabulary that proposes smart use of built-in landing pads in the body, harnessing your own mass and momentum to get into and out of the floor and air. The Axis Syllabus heals by helping you harmonize your movements with universal physical principles and your own skeletal architecture. It reduces stress on the joints and organs by offering logical transitions for the transfer of weight through muscles and bones, helping to locate and restructure harmful habits. These principles are for everyone, from the office-worker to the break-dancer.

"Secret Agents" w/ Kira Kirsch & "Time Curves" w/ Frey Faust, Axis Syllabus Dance Workshop in SF, 11am-4:30pm
AXIS SYLLABUS WINTER WORKSHOP SERIES
in San Francisco
@1345 A 17th Street (@Connecticut), SF Muni Bus 22
WORKHOP II February 1st & 2nd 11 – 4.30 pm
w. Kira Kirsch & Frey Faust
SECRET AGENTS - extremity assistance & navigation f. floor work (taught by Kira)
Study supportive angles for shoulder and hip joints as well as healthy motion pathways for arms & legs. Learn to generate and use centrifugal force to help you hover in, above and out of the floor. The proximal driven use of your periphery amplifies axial movements, permits you to expands into space and leaves the adventurous taste of flight.
TIME CURVES - rhythm for coordination (taught by Frey)
The length of our limbs and their mass provide us with intrinsic inertial values to use as guidelines for musicality. Practice keeping time without losing yourself. This class focuses on optimal choices for the use of time, while dancing; specifically the utility of curved ramps that accelerate at the third quarter.
pre-reg fees: jan WS I $65 / feb WS II $85 / both WS I+II $130
after jan 1st WS I $75 / after jan 28th WS II $ 95
