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)

Course 2: Building Dynamic Floorwork Classes

Tired of falling into the same class planning ruts? Class planning taking up way too much of your time? Stop scrambling for fresh material. Start with organized systems that generate endless inspiration. Build 3 classes and walk away with the inspiration to create countless more. 

You'll leave the course with:

• An extensive catalogue of your personal class material, making future class planning more streamlined

• Three floorwork classes of your own creation utilizing our suggested frameworks 

• Three playlists to go along with your new classes

• Certificate of Completion for professional development purposes (note: this is not a certification to teach a Ground Grooves class)

Perfect For:

Educators who have a floorwork teaching practice, but want to enliven their class design skills. You should have a clear understanding of safe technical progression and a base movement language in floorwork. 

This course is NOT for:

• Brand new teachers just starting their teaching journey (take Course 1: Structuring Your Floorwork Class first)

• Teachers with limited floorwork vocabulary who don't yet have a base of movements to catalog

• Those seeking basic class structure understanding (this course assumes you already know how to build a safe, progressive class which is covered in Structuring Your Floorwork Class)

• Educators looking for done-for-you classes (this course guides you through the development of your own classes based on our favorite dynamic structures)
