Wilde KerlInnen
let's fetz!

In this workshop the focus is on power. First a contemporary dance training will help us get into shape, gain strength, flexibility and persistence in order to continue to dance wildly!
We will dance so fast, that we will think we are going to take-off...
We will jump high, so that we get the feeling of flying away...
We will learn cool dance combinations, which can be danced alone and in couples - wild fellows are able to lift someone else!
For girls AND boys - let's fetz!


Ruhestandstanz
re-experience the body

A warm-up session will wake up our bodies and we will softly stretch and strengthen our bodies. We will have a lot of fun with dance combinations, which are always focused on certain things, such as jumps, turns and the shifting of weight. We will find joy with dancing with good music as well as in silence. The goal is to re-experience the body within this week and discover new ways of using the body. We will find virtuosity in our body and ways of expressing it. Every body has its limits - we will regognise them, work with them and try to go beyond the scope of them. Time for the retirement dance!
