Class Description

“Drop and Twist”

It is an aim to warm up the muscular system from the centre towards the extremities creating more space inside the joints, in order to find more flexibility based on anatomic possibilities of the spine such as twists and spirals from earlier on. The focus of the class is in the use of the spine constantly spiralling moving through the space isolating the upper and lower body.

The interest lies in the physicality the spine can create.
The exercises have a goal to build up a physically strong body while constantly exploring how the movements of the spine relate to the rest of the body.
The dance phrase is an extension of the material in relation to the space
