About the Class
A contemporary dance class designed to identify different levels of the nervous system through body awareness and movement availability, as well as tools to connect to internal organs. Valerie will include guided improvisations and meditations to help dancers refine their presence, as well as floor work sequences, centre combinations and occasional technical sequences moving across the floor. The aim is to be grounded in the present moment, while finding a circulation of energy in the body as a way to physically & mentally prepare for the remainder of the day.

About the Class

About the Class
Utilizing principles of human movement from the Alexander Technique combined with concepts from the Pilates Method, we will work through an anatomically sound movement sequence directed towards the specific requirements of the dancer. We will look at spinal sequencing, pelvis and spine stability, freedom and stability of the shoulder girdle, and freedom, stability and balance at the hip joint. Susan is happy to address any specific questions or issues.

Please have a mat, theraband and large towel for class.

About the Class

Natasha’s contemporary technique classes are founded strongly on the principles of Limón modern dance, exploring our use of weight, suspension, fall and recovery, breath, and musicality with an emphasis on sound anatomical alignment and kinaesthetic efficiency. We will explore these concepts in a progressive class structure, beginning on the floor before moving through more complex, comprehensive phrase work in the centre and travelling throughout the Space.
