Thread: Moves of a Wing

A have an opportunity to use Isis Wings for the first time in choreography and would love all your posts, descriptions, or links to the best wing moves ever!!! I really want it to look polished and stage worthy...g.: Thanks..Aunna

Ayshe's video on the subject is really good. What she stresses most is posture.

If your ribcage isn't lifted and wiiiiiide open, the wings will be a disaster.

The other thing is arms: those gracefully curved and flowing arms we work so hard on are miserable with wings. Your elbows and wrists have to be fully extended, and the wing an extension of that straight line...everything moves from the muscles in the upper back.

I had a tendency to bend one wrist and I really had to battle it for wings!! I see dancers on youtube using wings with bent elbows and wrists, it makes me a little nuts.

What Lauren said.

Zorba...Is that you Zorba??? Couldn't possibly be.. with a , yes it is.., a short answer? Never thought I would see the day. I guess Lauren just did too much of a good job first (wink, smile) but it is nice to hear from you anyway! Aunna

Lauren usually manages to say something far better than I could! I'm waaaay too verbose...

Its only personal opinion but I absolutely HATE seeing dancers do snake arms with wings, it ruins the tine of the wings. On a positive note I like the 'flutter' or 'shimmer' some dancers do, done well it's almost unnoticeable in the arms ans makes the wings shiver beautifully, it looks especially amazing with two tone iridescent wings

There are a bunch of good isis wings clips in this thread:
