Did you know that you don't have to do floor work when balancing?
Seriously! You don't.
Sure, it looks cool and it shows off the strength of the floor work you've been working so hard on, but everyone does it.
I've been watching balancing videos today and nearly every single one the dancer gets down on the floor, does a single hip 8, the rolling on the floor thing, does some undulations and gets up again (or some variation thereof). There are other ways to show off your balancing skills other than going down.
I found this video of Iana from 2014. She does a drum with balancing a tray of candles. When she goes to the floor, she removes the tray to do hair work (not floor work).
Enjoy.
