The movement practice of “Da Da Dance” aims to provide tools and strategies that support dance as a sustainable lifelong passion and career.
Through drills, improvisations, and creative challenges, we will explore our sense of care, humor, and failure in order to redefine ideas of growth and relevance.
We will begin each session by breathing together and collectively activating the space. From there, we
will dive into a series of guided improvisations and compositional exercises that invite us to reorganize
our physical pathways while welcoming both the absurd and the tender.
Caring for both our bodies and our creative engines, we will connect with the thrill of impossible tasks and physical contradictions,
practicing how to distinguish impulses and desires from trends and imposed aesthetics.
These are classes of bodily Dadaist poetry.
The classes are held in Studio 3, 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
