Each class session includes a standardized warm-up and introduces unique Uzbek elements of technique accompanied by traditional and contemporary Uzbek music. Delicate and rhythmic movements of hands, arms, head, shoulders, and torso will be emphasized along with footwork, turns, and traveling steps. Combinations and choreography will blend technique with expression and musicality.
