Limón Technique Beginners
Full potential
The technique, style, and philosophy of the Limón class draws upon the principles of fall, rebound and breath to train the body to move in its fullest potential.
In a beginning class we will enjoy the exploration of music and movement, and the coordination of the body in space.
There will be a warm up, center work and then the challenge of travelling in space.
Dance is about the joy of movement and that is what the focus of the class will be.

"The technique, style, and philosophy of the Limón class includes the principles of fall and rebound: the challenge of yielding to and resisting gravity, weight, suspension, successive movement and isolation as well as alignment. Limón teaches the use of space, music and communication. Limón equips a dancer with an intelligent body and the tools to communicate thoughts, whether emotionally driven or not."
As Risa Steinberg is asking the dancers to be responsible artists at all times, they will realise that music, dynamics and phrasing are essential parts of their art form.
