Modern Technique Beginner
from the floor to the air

The class starts with floorwork inspired by the Feldenkrais method. The aim is to loosen up extra tensions, study the breath and to develop an awareness for the own body. Exercises for the posture and the position of the pelvis, spine and torso will follow. More exercises at the barre as well as in the centre prepare the upper body and the legs.
This will be followed by exercises in space, which are aiming for the energy flow of the body in order to finish the class with jumps.
