Elevation Academy

Runway modelling requires specific skills such as walking confidently, maintaining poise, and effectively showcasing the garments. Runway models need to be able to adapt to various styles of music, show themes, and designers, as each fashion show may have its own unique set of requirements. Additionally, mastering your walk for a casting or audition can be a whole different beast than being able to pick up choreography quickly and effectively.

Modelling skills are life skills. The way you move through the world or walk into a room shapes how you feel about yourself and the way others perceive you. Your walk, posture, and poise can be an asset in everything you do. Learn how to master your walk, your model mindset, and discover the power of stage presence to perform at your best! 

This workshop will introduce you to different posing techniques, various runway styles and leave you feeling confident in your heels. If you are a working model, we will film your walk at the end for you to use for online casting opportunities and social media. In addition to runway, we dive into model movement for video and social media content. 

Leah follows up with everyone one-on-one to review personal tips and tricks. We are casting models of all experience levels for a runway show on February 1st. Get ready at our workshop and attend the casting for the show!
