Oriental Dance group lessons - in Geneva - Monday and Wednesday

Oriental dance is a dance of Egyptian origin, which includes many styles. Originally, it was a spontaneous and improvised dance, but today it is taught academically all over the world.
It is traditionally practiced by women, who express by this art their femininity, their vitality, but also their feelings, joys and sorrows. In general, this dance is characterized by the dissociation of the parts of the body (isolations) that can move independently of one another. Oriental dance is as good with jerky rhythms as slow and fluid.
Bellydance is not limited to movements of the pelvis: it solicits flexibility and tonicity of the bust, shoulders, arms, hands, pelvis and belly. It helps tone the thighs, relax the joints, develop the abdominals and maintain the back. Most of the work resides in the muscular contraction, this dance can be practiced at any age, in the respect of the limits of each dancer or dancer.
The course begins with a joint and muscle warm-up, followed by technical work. The basic movements are then integrated into sequences that allow you to move in space and experience the pleasure of dancing, before ending with a session of relaxation.

Experience / Qualifications

Addicted to creative expression and movement, Eleonora practiced music and artistic gymnastics all her childhood, before discovering a passion for oriental dance and flamenco. She began teaching oriental dance in 2013, in addition to her employment in a multinational.

In 2015, she decided to abandon a promising career that did not correspond to her values, to reorient herself professionally and adopt a lifestyle that left more room for her passion for teaching and movement.

She has since completed a professional training in nutrition and co-founded an association aimed at promoting the scenic arts and supporting French-speaking artists. Eleonora now works as a nutrition therapist, oriental dance and Pilates teacher.

The Pilates method was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by a passionate about sport and the human body, Joseph Pilates. It is practiced on the ground, with or without accessories or using devices. It helps develop deep muscles, improve and restore mobility. The Pilates method helps rebalance the muscles of the body, focusing on the central muscles which are involved in postural balance, and the maintenance of the spine. The muscles which are not very stressed are invited to get back into motion, while the over-stressed and tense muscles are caused to relax.

Nour
Beginner dance classes for adults - Afro and Arab style
Dancing is important for all events be it birthdays, parties, or even weddings. It’s also a means of release for our bodies. I’ll teach you how to move your body to any beat with fluidity regardless of the genre! Basically, rid you of anxiety you might get at public events where dancing is expected! Arab and Afro dancing are a part of my background, hence it’ll be a mix of the two!

Jared
Dance Classes from Professional contemporary dancer
Having experienced first-hand the power of dance to shape people’s perspectives, I am enthusiastic about using my professional experiences, skills, and beliefs to educate new young dancers in the techniques, movements, and experiences of dance. I am also just as enthusiastic to share that beauty and power with the community, with recreational adult classes as well. About how I teach, and why I started; I was looking for dance that was fun, liberating, and yet artistically challenging, all at the same time; I craved something that brought and demanded a more humane experience inside of the studio. My interest at the moment is to use our human experiences and bodies as they are. I’m not so interested in trying to force them into something else, but to allow that freedom to take us to whatever imaginary or fantastical place where dance should be able to take us. I believe my obligation as a dance teacher is to encourage students to have fun when dancing. It’s something that’s forgotten a lot as a budding artist, but one of the most important things for perseverance in this field. I believe that if the curiosity, imagination, and enjoyment is there, the technique will come as well because there’s a mutual belief, from both the teacher and student, in oneself. Of course to learn a variety of dance styles, be technically proficient, and pursue a personal creative expression is important, but having an experience with a group of people and letting go into imagination while allowing yourself to have fun will push a dancer even further in their artistry, I believe. To be able to be given images, sensations, feelings, etc. and have the awareness to translate them into some form of movement is an important skill as an artist and human being

Corentin
Teaching of classical, contemporary and modern jazz dance
Formerly a student at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Paris as well as at the Junior Ballet in Geneva, I have been a classical, contemporary and modern jazz dance teacher since 2019 in Switzerland and neighboring France. I taught at the "Danse Evasion" school (Cugy, VD) for amateurs (from the age of 4 to adults) the following techniques: classical, contemporary, jazz, parent-child dance, yoga and Pilates. Subsequently I taught dance for pre-pro training at the "Ecole de danse de la Côte" (Morges, VD) the following techniques: classical and contemporary. In April 2022 I obtained the Technical Aptitude Examination in classical dance and since September 2022 I have been a student in a pedagogical Bachelor's degree with the aim of obtaining the state diploma of classical dance teacher. Following my journey and my desire to continue and perfect my transmission, I offer my services in order to transmit the art and passion of dance for you. My pedagogy is suitable for everyone, fun for the youngest and beginners, reinforced and sharp for the most advanced.

Elena
Ballet class (Vaganova School), audition and contest preparation for intermediate and advanced students
In addition to ballet classes and stretching, I also provide audition preparation and competition training variations. My ballet class is typically divided into two parts: Barre and Center, which include adagio, pirouettes, and jumps. We can reserve time for pointe technique upon request as well. During classes, attention is given not only to the technical aspects of the combinations provided but also to their musicality and the logic of movements. Detailed analysis is also provided on which muscles should be engaged in each movement and what sensations the student should experience when executing the steps correctly. It would be great if you could share a video of your class or variation performance before our first class. This will allow me to assess your level and make our lesson as productive as possible.
