Modern Dance
Kids Dance & Ballet for Kids

Modern:
The Modern course combines elements of various contemporary and modern dance techniques,
as well as floor work - release technique, David Zambrano - flying low technique, Limon, Horton and Graham influences.
The training starts with simple exercises for the perception of the body and continues with the learning of different dance techniques, integrated in exercises, up to free body work.
This gives space to get to know and integrate the individual body in its own movements.
Perception and understanding of one's own body and its kinetic forces are the goal of the course.

Children's dance:
In class, As her starting point, Lisa takes the children's natural joy in movement, in experimenting and in doing things together.
