Sometimes, the simplest exercises carry the most charm.
This week’s video tutorial explores teacups—a spiraling movement pattern said to have originated from a server who balanced cups on his hands to impress guests. With each sweep, arc, and turn, the body folds and extends, loosens, and finds flow.
Using something light (a headphone case works perfectly), you’ll explore spirals led by the elbow, opening space through the torso, and eventually bringing the whole body into the dance.
It’s a playful way to build fluidity and coordination, and many people find their upper body feels lighter afterward.
Give it a try and see what unfolds.
