What do you do physically to support your dancing and keep yourself injury-free? How do you resource yourself mentally and emotionally? Interested in working on body conditioning in a conscious and playful way?
This workshop is focused on holistically supporting a dancer’s training, at whichever level you are, from beginner to professional. Susanne will guide you through the week using ideas and exercises coming from Functional Training, natural movement, contemporary dance and life coaching.
Dance-specific problem zones are covered, but also overall conditioning ideas are provided. Next to the topics of coordination, stability and mobility, as well as power, agility, endurance and flexibility we will be looking at thoughts and habits that help or hinder the training.
For this we will use mostly the own body weight, as well as exploring other simple conditioning props. We will also touch on resourcing ourselves through our mind-set. As Covid conditions allow we will work with partners and play games throughout the workshop to keep our whole selves engaged in the practice.
Fun & Functional is for everyone who wants to feel good in their body and mind, likes challenges and having fun!
