Ballet
This ballet class is inspired by the Vaganova system and incorporates my own authentic experience as a professional dancer to create a wholesome challenging joyful dance lesson in an atmosphere which invites to develop a new awareness of our muscle memory, musical skills and physicality…
The exercises tend to be a bit longer, choreographed in a connected way around changing main themes, always focusing on an organic healthy way of moving the entire body with a concentrated, yet free and flowing energy to offer the possibility of recognising automatisms and exploring new patterns.
A main focus lies in combining coordination through different dynamics, finding harmony by enhancing awareness of rhythm, breath and movement through our body. Questions are always very welcome and certain new elements will be explained in detail while I also like to break up the style of traditional frontal teaching so we get to enjoy and explore together.
