Stundenbeschrieb
In my ballet classes I encourage the participants to find freedom and excitement within a language that could sometimes be seen as strict or limiting.
Stretching our own borders, taking risks, finding joy are all very important aspect of my class.
We will work on alignment, musicality, balance and/in off-balance, technique with respect to individual bodies. I put strong emphasis on body awareness, conscious use of space and dynamics.
To me ballet is not only a perfectly balanced training that in my opinion is essential in every dancer’s life, it is a place where my body and mind speak a common language. Finding joy, focus, flow, flexibility and stability at the bar help me to find these in my everyday life as well.
I am hoping very much to pass that experience on to dancers taking my classes.
