CLASSES

  • Every dance routine also includes proper stretching. The hour consists of a warm-up followed by targeted stretching, mobility and strength training specifically for dancers, in order to keep our bodies flexible.

  • In this class, you get to learn simple dance steps. We do various exercises with a main focus on conditioning. This means we work on improving our endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, and coordination. These exercises are designed to help make our muscles more flexible and stronger, which helps get our bodies ready for dancing more complex choreographies.

  • Exercises from the ballet barre are performed on the floor; you train in a way that is gentle on your joints, focusing mainly on strengthening your core and legs. These exercises target the muscle groups that are also used in ballet, which in turn boost your entire body and improves your posture.

  • We regularly practice our dance routine to stay in shape for dancing: After the warm-up, we either do improvisation exercises to discover freedom in movement, or we learn short choreographies and sequences of movements to improve our pick-ups.

  • In Modern Class, we explore and learn the blend of classical ballet and modern technique, like the Martha Graham technique. Here, you can expect fluid and expressive movements that combine physical expressiveness with technical precision, strength, and flexibility. In addition, we continually learn and dance a choreography that helps us put the learned techniques into practice.

  • The Martha Graham technique, a powerful and dynamic method, is acknowledged as the first codified technique of Modern Dance. In our classes, we learn this technique collectively through basic lessons and crucial floor work. The method revolves around the concepts of "contraction, release, and spirals." These rhythmic movements originate from the dancer's core, profoundly influencing the movements of the entire body.

  • Jazz dance is elegant, but also fun and full of energy. In a class, you pick up basic moves like high kicks, leaps, and spins. You also learn dance routines that show off how you can move one part of your body while the rest stays still. These classes often help you get better at coordinating your movements, maintaining good posture, and musicality.

  • Floor work refers to a dance technique or a series of movements in which dancers move their bodies on the floor, using it as a prop or a partner. It involves controlled and often fluid movements such as rolls, slides, and falls, and requires a good sense of body awareness, strength, and flexibility. Floor work is a common element in contemporary and modern dance styles, but it is also utilized in other dance forms for expressive and artistic purposes.

  • In this class, participants learn to spontaneously create movements and express themselves through dance without pre-set choreography. This class helps dancers develop their creativity, musicality, and ability to respond to the moment. Improvisation often encourages dancers to explore and discover new movement possibilities, enhancing their personal style and expressiveness. It requires a high level of body awareness and comfort with free movement.
