På klasserna utforskar vi och lär oss behärska olika stegsekvenser och danskombinationer. Vi arbetar med grundläggande golvteknik där vi övar upp teknik, styrka och koordination och med improvisation till musik som inspirerar till olika uttryck. Ofta blandas många musikstilar och rytmer under en termin. Alla lärare undervisar i sin individuella stil.
Klassen undervisas på engelska!
Förkunskaper: Intermediate/Advanced - Minst 3 års förkunskaper och en hög teknisk nivå. Kursen är för ungdomar och vuxna från 16 år och uppåt.

"I look forward to sharing my experiences and insights into the world of dance, both as a choreographer and a teacher. In my contemporary dance class, I encourage a free choreography approach, treating technique as a tool to enhance dance. Emphasizing correct placement, musicality, and the dynamics of movement quality, I aim to cultivate a soft and organic flow. Above all, my classes are designed to empower dancers to move
freely, expressively, and tap into their own imagination."

"För mig är dans i alla dess former fullt av glädje! Vi skapar en samhörighet och fokuserar på nuet. Mina klasser är dansanta och fysiskt utmanande. Jag värdesätter kroppen som redskap för att utmana sig själv, utifrån var och ens egna förutsättningar. Dans är fantastiskt!"
