Day 1: Fundamentals & Application Saturday September 5th 3:00pm-6:30pm (Check-in Starts at 2:45pm. Please allow ample time to park & sign-in.)
Location: From The Top FTL
201 SW 5th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315
Day 1: Fundamentals & Application
Your Confidence Beyond the Lens experience begins by stepping out of your head and into your body.
Through five guided experiences—Presence, Movement, Body Language, The Space Between, and Expression—you’ll explore how your body, energy, movement, and expression communicate before you ever say a word.
Through movement training, guided exercises, posing application, partner and group work, and real-time coaching, you’ll learn to create stronger lines, move with intention, connect with the camera and others, explore expression, and become more aware of the moments that happen between the poses.
You’ll have opportunities to practice, observe, perform, receive feedback, and bring each element together in preparation for your Professional Production Day.
It’s not about memorizing poses. It’s about understanding how to create them naturally—and developing the awareness and confidence to carry those skills into every future shoot, casting, performance, or branding opportunity.

Bring your phone and a tripod if you'd like to record yourself during exercises and capture your progress throughout the experience. We encourage you to share your journey on social media and tag us!

How should I dress?

Come dressed to move, explore, and feel confident.
We recommend comfortable, fitted or body-skimming activewear or dance-inspired attire that allows you to move freely while still letting you see the lines and shapes your body creates. Solid colors and neutrals work beautifully, but — choose something that feels like you.
Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to step in front of the camera.
Avoid overly baggy, bulky, or restrictive clothing, as we'll be working with movement, posture, body language, and posing throughout the experience.
Bring comfortable shoes that allow you to move with ease.
