Stundenbeschrieb
In this class we are going to practise through some movement sequences based on Release Technique. Starting from the floor we will pass through the medium level to standing combinations and transfers in space, reaching handstands and jumping exercises. Practicing with this material will help us focus on our technique, work on our flow, define the movement qualities through musicality and improve our memory. Through a physical movement vocabulary we wish to activate the best of our abilities, connect our mind, body and senses but most importantly enjoy this dancing workout to the maximum.
