A grounding and energetic warm-up will open the morning class, preparing our bodies for dancing through a range of qualities and dynamics. I will share repertoire from my own works — both phrases and movement practices developed in the making of the solo High Tide and the collective work On My Tongue.
The class will focus on a FULL ON approach to dancing — tuning into the nuanced textures of our movement: the tonal shifts, the imagery, and the performative gestures that pop up — while staying grounded in how our bodies actually feel. This is a space to explore how the sensed and the imagined inform one another as we move, supporting responsive and expressive dancing.
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.

This is for all professional members regardless of background in dance training, and it is also possible to participate in a drop-in class.

Emilie Gregersen (they/them, she/her) is a choreographer and dancer based in Copenhagen. Gregersen’s choreographic work takes it starting point in speculative fiction as a way to depict new worlds and is driven by a curiosity for questioning and transforming meaning. Through themes of intimacy, erotic ambivalence, the uncanny, and the understanding of power dynamics Gregersen works with physical practices to create staged performances that evoke the senses.
