Is a chance to have a fresh take on traditional ballet training. We won’t be adding anything external to the class; rather, we’ll dig deeper into the mechanics and functionality of the technique, and hereby we will find our natural placement and unlock the potential hidden in familiar patterns. You will find how to use dynamics and musicality as a way of deepening the quality of your experience of ballet practice. You will gain a clearer understanding of your body, as a whole and in relation to space. The idea is to find more appreciation for yourself in your practice and get rid of the confusion and fear that we may or may not have when it comes to ballet.
Arina’s goal is to eliminate the trauma that is stored in dancers’ bodies, stemming from their experiences of ballet as forced and unnatural technique.
After ballet class Thursday and Friday, you are welcome to participate in a more in-depth workshop exploring how ballet technique can be used for contemporary dancers, composition ect.
The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V.
Dansehallerne has an elevator with step-free access to all floors. Accessible and gender-neutral toilets and wardrobes are available on the ground floor.
We kindly ask you to arrive 15 minutes prior to class in time for check-in with the QR code on your ticket.
All members can participate in Dansehallerne’s training activities – a year-round program with approximately 5 days of training per week and now also workshops every other week. This is for all professional members regardless of background in dance training, and it is also possible to participate in a drop-in class.
International guests can participate in training for free for up to 1 month. If you have comments or good tips for the training program, you can always send an email to the curators; trainingcurator@dansehallerne.dk
