Master the art of tutting with Phoenix Banuelos in this foundational course designed to sharpen your lines, angles, and control. Phoenix breaks down the core mechanics of tutting step by step teaching you how to build clean shapes, lock in proper technique, and transition smoothly with intentional flow. You’ll learn essential concepts like fixed points, box work, angles, hand control, wrist articulation, and the rhythm behind clean geometric movement.
Learn the foundation of tutting with Phoenix Banuelos as he breaks down the box, one of the core shapes every tutter must master. In this lesson, Phoenix teaches you how to build clean 90° angles, control your lines, maintain symmetry, and transition smoothly while keeping your shapes sharp. Perfect for beginners or anyone refining their technique.
Phoenix Banuelos teaches you how to take simple lines and turn them into dynamic, controlled movement. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to manipulate straight lines with precision, isolate joints, create smooth directional changes, and maintain strong angles throughout. This drill sharpens your control and builds the foundation for more advanced tutting patterns.
Phoenix Banuelos guides you through the concept of internal grids-the invisible framework within your body that defines where your shapes exist in space. In this lesson, you'll learn how to map out your personal grid, create shapes within confined spaces, and develop the spatial awareness needed to execute clean, precise tutting. Master your internal grid and unlock a new level of control in your movement.
Phoenix Banuelos breaks down the essential do's and don'ts of tutting to help you develop clean, polished technique from the start. In this lesson, you'll learn common mistakes beginners make-and how to avoid them-while understanding the principles that separate sharp, intentional tutting from sloppy movement. Build good habits early and take your tutting to the next level.
Phoenix Banuelos takes you beyond the body with external grids-the invisible framework that extends your shapes into the space around you. In this lesson, you'll learn how to project your tutting outward, create shapes that interact with your environment, and develop the spatial awareness needed to expand your movement vocabulary. Master external grids and take your tutting from contained to expansive.
Phoenix Banuelos teaches you the power of fixed points in tutting, showing you how to anchor parts of your body while the rest moves around them. In this lesson, you will learn how to create the illusion of stillness within motion, develop isolation control, and use fixed points to add depth and complexity to your tutting. Master this technique and unlock a new dimension in your movement.
Phoenix Banuelos explores the art of hand angle variations in tutting, demonstrating how subtle changes in wrist and finger positioning can transform simple shapes into dynamic visual statements. In this lesson, you will learn how to create depth and dimension through angle manipulation, develop precise control over your hand placements, and discover new ways to add complexity to your tutting vocabulary.
Phoenix Banuelos brings together everything from the beginner tutting course into one final combo. In this capstone class, you'll combine the box, line manipulation, internal grids, external grids, fixed points, and hand angle variations into a seamless routine that tests your foundations. Practice the full combo with music and solidify your skills before moving on to the intermediate course.
