An eminent, second-to-none method:
DECODING BALLET is a fundamental and radically progressive results-oriented education for Dance Teachers and Dancers (professionals and students) both of classical and modern dance, based on the “human body’s blueprint” training.
Developed by Vassiliki Kapsidou – Ballet Teacher, Kinesiologist, Neuromechanic and Bio-energetic Fascia Integration Instructor & Specialist, with knowledge resulting from breakthrough scientific discoveries in the Neurology & Bioenergetics, DECODING BALLET, is a unique, targeted and innovative method that:
– trains the dancers to translate (decode) the dance commands into brain-compatible terms (within the biomechanics / kinesiology / myology context) so that the central neurological system stimulates the proper muscle(s) to execute movement with accuracy and without neuromuscular exertion
– provides you with a “master-key” through the neuro-fascia matrix training, with a view to achieve a high-level technique, shield the body against injuries, build muscle and joint resilience against the work-out fatigue and obtain a compact and flawless body motor response

FASCIAL FITNESS – group course
Sunday 14 January, 10:00-11:00

Training through the Fascia Fitness program we activate the collagen fiber network that permeates the entire body (fascia).
With modern science referring to fascia as the “youth factor”, this program provides new information to the tissue and benefits you overall.
It’s for you who want:
– Elastic connective tissue with the ability to resist injuries
– Strength – Flexibility
– Reconstruction of collagen tissue
– Lymphatic decongestion
– Muscle stimulation
– Increase in body awareness

The Fascial Fitness course helps you:
– to correct the posture of the body and obtain a strong and healthy spine, preventing injuries
– start regaining the “lost youth” through a firm and toned body
– to improve the functioning of the nervous system (through the lengthening of the spine, due to the widening of the spaces between the vertebrae where the nerves begin)
– to improve your movement, to become bouncier and elastic in your stride, with a sense of ease and grace in every step

The longer we keep the fascia “alive”, in good condition, the more flexible and lighter we feel throughout our lives. Today this network is considered as a new autonomous system of the human body, with a decisive role in both movement and health in general.
Fascial Fitness is a holistic approach to fascia training based on the research of Dr. Robert Schleip and his team (UlmUniversity, Germany). Nowadays, fascia training is an integral part of classical and alternative exercise programs because it gives the extra information needed and missing from a comprehensive training program.
It is predicted that in the future more and more types of exercise will use fascia training as an integral mode of physical movement.

There is no age restriction for participation.
