The goal of my classes is to practice, find and define tools that helps us unlock the potentials of our dancing bodies.
The class is built by a series of what I call «drills for skills» – basic work that gets you warm and checks balance, mobility and coordination through practical exercises and simple floor- work in short phrases. For the exercises, in addition to my general education and experience from the field of contemporary dance, I draw on my knowledge from physiotherapists that have helped me reduce, heal and avoid injury, different martial arts (specifically; Jiu-jitsu and Wing Tsuen) that have given me a practical way to enter virtuous and complex physical material, and choreographers such as David Zambrano who taught me how to go in and out of the floor. Furthermore, I take inspiration from different types of European folk-dance and styles stemming from the African diaspora such as Chicago footwork, house and breaking.
I encourage everyone who joins the class to find a way of working that sparks joy and motivation.
The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V in Studio 3.
