"In my class, my aim is to work with a thinking and a physical body. We work with different movement qualities through improvisation and phrases. We start the class slow to speed it up with more intensity along the way. We do a lot of running, shaking and grooving. My focus is to play and research together with the dancers and the aim is to connect to the pleasure of moving."
