About

Ballet for contemporay dancers (Thursdays)

We will give the body an opportunity to explore the connections between formal aesthetics and the anatomical structure of the body. We will deepen the understanding of functional movement principles using ballet vocabulary. Emphasis will be on the use of space and the search for alignment of our body, as well as the exploration of various dynamic principles through the conscious use of music.

Vertical power (Tuesdays)

The class will focus on body positioning with exercises to strengthen strength, flexibility and body awareness. We will explore different levels of energy and speed of movement and test our body's capabilities.
