About

We start the class with running and breathing. We arrived in the studio, we raise awareness of the body. We move to the ballet bar. Classical exercises by the bar with the emphasis on conscious relaxation of most and activation of specific muscles and joints. Next to that a constant visualization of lowering and lifting weight with a purpose of stability and pure balance. Conscious breathing. Stretching and moving to the center, where we focus on coordination of moving through the space, jumps, turns, long focuses that are followed by elongated lines of the body. Finishing with breathing and warming down. See you! Dejan
