In this class we work on getting the individual inner femininity to manifest itself in the physical expression. We challenge sensuality, lines, balance and musicality through technical heels training, femme release, floorwork and choreography. In working and training with dance that has an imposed “sexy” expression, we research the individual’s authenticity behind the movements. In this way, we pursue a playful goal of strengthening feminine self-confidence in the body and improving our skills. All bodies are welcome, this is not a gendered class, but the focus is on the feminine expression in all its forms. This is not a beginner class in dance in general, but prior experience in heels dance is not required. Bring your own heels and perhaps kneepads. You are welcome to participate without heels.
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.
