The Luigi Technique was created by film and stage dancer Luigi (born Eugene Louis Faccuito) to recover from debilitating injuries he suffered in a car accident. It builds control, fluidity, balance and precision, through exercises adapted from ballet, modern, and jazz styles, all done in the center. Luigi’s motto: “Never Stop Moving,” remains the key to his gentle, yet demanding style.

In this workshop we’ll spend the Friday classes breaking down key exercises in the Luigi Technique, after which we’ll begin a combination.

On Saturdays, we’ll go through the exercises we learned on Friday with less of a breakdown, and spend the remaining time adding on to the combination. We’ll keep adding on to the same combination throughout the workshop, so that by the last Saturday you’ll have learned a short dance routine.

Schedule of Luigi exercises:
Friday June 16 – Pre-warm up, Plie-Frappe, First Port de bras, Second Port de bras, Kick- Outs.

Friday June 23 – add Passe-In-Out, Third Port de bras, Last Stretch, to the above. (We’ll add the Floor Work only if time permits)

This class is offered to dance teachers who want to check out the technique as well as all dancers or movement practitioners with either a strong beginner or beginner/intermediate level. This level is recommended because, while the Luigi exercises themselves are suitable for beginners, we’ll move more quickly in learning the combination.
