Contemporary dance / improvisation for non-dancers / dance lessons for seniors

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
These are the classes I can offer:

1. Introduction to contemporary dance and improvisation
With this workshop introduction to contemporary dance, we invite people without dance experience to taste improvisation. Dancers use different techniques to create movements. One of them is improvisation: the process of spontaneous movements, shaped by exercises that work on the imagination and empathy. The desired result of the workshop is that the participants make a connection between emotions and movement.

2. Dance classes for seniors
The first part of the lesson is warming up on the chair. Inspiration drawn from gyrokinesis, a form of movement that increases spinal mobility. In combination with Pilates-based exercises for muscle activation, we prepare the body with an approach that is suitable for everyone.
In the second part, the exercises continue standing with a body scan. The exercises explore every part of the body using weight, dynamics and movement qualities. The end result is the involvement of the whole body playing with rhythms and patterns in space.
The class is designed for creativity, individuality and vitality maintenance.

3. “Connect-id flow” - Contemporary dance lessons
In the “Connect-id flow” class, the essence is to neutralize excess energy so that the dancer moves effortlessly through space. The organic sequence of movements that make up the exercises focuses on weight distribution and the movement of the spine. The accumulated kinetic energy guides our body forward in the exercises; it stimulates the continuation and relaxation of the body parts.
During the warm-up, which consists of floor work, information is shared about the correct use of the limbs. As well as the importance of grounding the body to achieve softness and continuity during the execution of the movements. Once we have prepared the body, the intensity of the class builds. The weight navigates the body through space and spirals introduce more complex movements. Ultimately, the goal of the lesson is to build strength, find a smooth flow of movement and a better knowledge of the energy distribution while dancing.

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. My schedule is flexible, so the table below may not include all possible hours for our class. Write to me and indicate your preferences. I will answer you as soon as possible! Very soon you will see the summer offer. Believe me, it will be wonderful! Save my page or write me a short message - "Summer Ballet Classes".

Flamenco is a magical dance art that fascinates us with grace, rhythms and deep emotions. Flamenco allows us to have a strong and flexible body, an ideal posture, lose weight, train the heart, raise stress... In addition, flamenco develops memory and a sense of rhythm. By working with various accessories (fan, trunk, shawl, skirt), the dancer becomes a true actress who tells her story in exciting dance. Do you want to become one? Book your first class!

Porcelain
Adaptive dance for disabled people, Classes, choreography support or act development
I am a professional dancer with a disability. When I became a mobility aid user I had to make alot of my own acts and training routines. Even when I got jobs with mainstream company's they didn't know how to adapt choreography to me and I would have to do this myself. I work with a lot of disabled people and I am very skilled in creating dance classes/ routines or a training regiment for the dancer then to practice on there own. I am trained in many different area of dance and work with Professionals/ aspring professionals, student dancers, hobbyists and those who are using dance to achieve a different goal. Examples of other goals include: weight loss, improving fitness, improving coordination, expressing themselves, improving confidence and others. If you are interested please let me know your goal, the style of dance you are working with/ wish to work with, your access requirements and previous experience.
