Course Description

Summary

This course is designed for students who preferably have ballet experience or equivalent physical training in any movement forms. Anyone who would like to recultivate, reactivate, improve, deepen, expand, develop or break the relationship to their own body and commit to consistent physical learning, are welcomed. This course also might support to correct any distortions in your body and help you feel refreshed at all times. While borrowing a basic flow and physical language of ballet class, this course also offers somatic practice, improvisation, release technique and contemporary phrase works with emphasis on the awareness around the axis of your body. By strengthening the axis, the movement will gradually become smoother and the joints, chest, shoulders, pelvis, spinal, raising and lowering the heel will be able to move smoothly. Then, more possibilities for a body to move like fish, plants, or even single-cell organisms. This course is ultimately a liberated physical journey—the expression that embraces capricious physical, energetic and mind modalities-- like yin and yang, highs and lows.
