GENTLE METHOD
LESSON 1
The Anatomy of Movement
(THEORY)

Introduction



Every move you create is more than a shape. It is alive.

It has a beginning, a middle, and an ending.

Just like breath. Just like a story. Just like life itself.


When you start noticing this anatomy of movement, something shifts.

Your body begins to seek fullness on its own.

Even your subconscious starts to extend the wave, to close it with grace, to give it meaning.

This is where artistry begins.

BEginning (impuls)
The crest. Energy unfolding through space, showing its full amplitude. This is where the wave breathes.


Middle (momentum)
The landing. It can dissolve softly, strike with sharpness, or suspend in stillness — but it must arrive.


ending (release)
The rise. The first spark of intention, the decision that ignites the body. A shift of weight, a push, an inhale. The seed of everything that follows.
Movement as a Wave
Without a beginning, the wave feels empty.
Without a middle, it feels flat.
Without an ending, it feels broken.

When you connect all three, you create a continuous thread of energy ,
a fabric of motion that feels whole, alive, magnetic.
And here is the most important part for Gentle Method:
by noticing the beginning, middle, and ending, your body naturally expands into the full range of motion. You don’t cut the wave short. You learn to make the move as long as you can, training your muscles to execute the entire play of movement. This is the foundation we build here.
When we talk about “full range”, we mean tapping into your body’s maximum capacity for motion while maintaining control and intentionality.
AMPLITUDE IN MOVEMENT
  • Amplitude is the size of your movements.
  • Think of it as stretching every move to its fullest potential, making it dynamic and expressive.
WHY ITS IMPORTANT
  • Bigger, intentional movements catch the audience’s attention.
  • They create flow and make your dance look more powerful, elegant, and professional.
The Three Pillars of Full Range
  • Flexibility: Expanding the physical limits of your range.
  • Strength: Supporting large movements with control.
  • Awareness: Knowing how to use your body’s full potential in choreography.
The Cycle of Infinity

Remember: an ending is never final.
The moment you close one move, a new beginning is born.
Movement is not fragments.
It is a cycle — an infinity of waves, one feeding into the next.
This is flow.
