Course 1: Structuring Your Floorwork Class
Do you want to teach floorwork but feel overwhelmed by the lack of clear structure? This foundation course gives you what you need: a clear progression system to organize your material for warm-ups and technique plus a 1.5 hour class plan you can use immediately. No more guessing at safe progressions or scrambling to fill class time.
What’s Included:
A breakdown of our Planes 1-6 progressive structure, giving you the tools to organize any floorwork movements with clear, developmental logic
Theme-based class planning that increases student retention and engagement
A bulletproof warm-up structure designed specifically for floorwork demands
A complete, ready-to-teach floorwork class with playlist (suitable for all levels, ages 11+)
Certificate of Completion for professional development purposes (note: this is not a certification to teach a Ground Grooves class)
Perfect for:
New floorwork teachers
Experienced dancers transitioning to teaching
Or any movement educator wanting to add floorwork to their classes safely and effectively.
Why This System Works:
Developed over 15+ years of teaching experience, this isn't theory—it's a well-tested formula. You'll learn the same progressive structure that's helped thousands of students around the world move from tentative floor exploration to confident, safe flow.
This course is NOT for:
Teachers who are looking to accrue floorwork vocabulary. This course provides the structure to safely organize your own movement vocabulary. One complete sample class is included in the course, which does include floorwork vocabulary you can implement immediately into your classes. For teachers looking to learn floorwork, we suggest starting with a GG TV membership!
Educators who already have established floorwork teaching systems and class structures. We'd suggest Course 2 instead!
Experienced educators seeking advanced pedagogical theory rather than foundational class building tools
Those teaching floorwork styles like breaking, pole, Capoeira, or contact improvisation (this focuses on foundational contemporary floorwork)
