Classical dance forms the basis of any meaningful dance education. As the most structured genre of dance, it relies on the development and cultivation of elements such as harmony, musicality, discipline, power, complete control of movements, proper posture and body alignment. The course combines techniques from the two basic classical ballet systems, English (RAD) and Russian (Vaganova).
The class is aimed at students (teenagers and adults) who are trained in classical dance. Starting with the appropriate warm-up and preparation, the class teaches the basic pointe steps found in a complete amateur and professional ballet class. In order to attend the course, it is necessary to attend at least one additional weekly class of classical dance.
This class aims at improving the necessary technical skills of ballet (en dehors, strong coup de pied, flexibility, coordination, correct posture, balance, core activation etc). We learn and activate these muscles that work together for the execution of each exercise (pirouette, sauté, relevé, plié etc.) to protect our body from injuries. In each class, different exercises are used to strengthen a different muscle group, in order for students to gradually build their kinesthetic ability, an essential skill in ballet. The class contributes to the correct preparation for pointe work and for an advanced ballet class. We use props such as yoga blocks, ball, and bands resistance.
The class is aimed at teenagers and adults who attend ballet classes. It is also recommended for those who have no experience with dance but would like to exercise using this method.
The approach of the dance through a deeper knowledge of the body and its particularities, through the expansion and development of perception and personality, the sense of space and time, the use of different dynamics and qualities, the shifting of weight through breathing, expressiveness and imagination. Based on Release, Limon and Graham techniques, but also on influences from every modern kinetic expression, the physical daily movement, the energy management and the free flow are organized in a kind of movement and dance that has revolutionized all rigorously structured systems and released the body and the creativity of the dancers all around the world. The course also evolves through the Contact Improvisation technique, which brings the body in contact with space and other bodies. Contact is built through trust, the exploration of body boundaries, the coordination and the different uses of our weight, in search of a dialogue and endless forms of kinetic coexistence.
The course focuses on the nurturing of inner dance and how classical ballet dancers can free their body and expression, incorporating choreographies from the international repertoire of classical and neoclassical ballet.
This course is addressed to intermediate or advanced level students.
In this course, students are taught choreographies and excerpts from the international repertoire of contemporary dance and dance theatre. Aiming for a well-rounded education, they become familiar with various works and techniques related to different aspects of contemporary dance and dance theatre improving their technique, presence on stage and cultivation of expressiveness.
This course is addressed to intermediate or advanced level students.
Contact Improvisation is a spontaneous physical dialogue between two or more moving bodies in physical contact. This dialogue is determined and shaped by the laws of physics such as gravity, momentum, inertia, etc. With the principles of Contact Improvisation, we explore falling and flying, rolling, weight exchange, spiraling movement and we learn to move in a natural flow with minimum muscular tension. Through this physical communication we learn to listen to our body, eliminate specific kinesiology patterns, become more aware of space and time and respect our needs and the needs of others.
Getting acquainted with acrobatic movement is done by learning the basic techniques of balance, handstands, swing and flight. With a special training for strengthening, stretching and movement combinations, we allow the exploration of body boundaries and get in touch with the qualities and dynamics of acrobatics. The form of movement, both on and above the ground, will emerge as a function of intention rather than as a demonstration of technique, thus giving the opportunity to the body to discover and interact with the ground and instruments (aerial rope, trapeze, aerial hoop). By creating conditions of safety, trust and cooperation, it is possible to overturn and move the center of gravity of the body, enhancing the sense of perception in unprecedented and transcendent positions. The main objective of the course is to overcome the fear that can be caused by the overturning of gravity and to create a common space where everything can happen.
A physical expression, with origins in the art of circus, is calling us to escape from our usual connection to the ground and immerse ourselves into the floating feeling of aerial silks. We activate and re-imagine our body limits through a combination of exercises on strengthening, flexibility and balance. In a safe environment, working with each body’s capabilities we will learn how to balance a few meters above the ground. A constant quest of aerial creativity, while we discover ways to flow from static poses to controlled drops.
It is an art born in the streets of New York in the late 70s, by African-American teenagers, and was in parallel developed in music, dance and graffiti. Improvisation and personal style are the key components in all of the Hip Hop dance styles we come across in this course, such as Popping, Locking and House.
A course open to imagination, sensitivity, diversity, and artistic expression. All the dance elements (body, space, time, energy) are approached and developed through a structured exploration of movement and with respect for the particularities of each individual. The body is released and strengthened, while at the same time becoming more skillful and more creative. Participants are encouraged to compose their own personal dance, share, and co-create within the group.
Adults – Open Level (Familiarity with any form of movement – such as physical exercise, dance, or sports – can be helpful but is not required).
As an integral part of every form of art and creation, improvisation opens the field for the exploration and cultivation of all expressive means with prime material the individuality and diversity of each person. The course evolves through play, group and individual exercise, free and guided creative action, with special emphasis on the use of “randomness”, the awakening, and the senses activation, as well as on the process of choice and transformation during the structuring of stage presence.
A Note Walked Across the Bars
Every voice is a world. Every sound, a breath of creation.
In this class, we don’t learn “how to sing” — we learn how to exist within sound.
Using the voice as our main instrument and the body as a field of resonance, we journey into the world of vocal improvisation — where sound is born in the moment it emerges.
We listen, we respond, we play. We let sound find us — rather than chasing it.
Through games of rhythm, silence, melody, and group interaction:
We shape spontaneous musical moments — no sheet music, no right or wrong.
We blend our voices with others, creating soundscapes, dialogues, and polyphonies.
We experiment with simple musical instruments, allowing their sounds to converse with our voice.
We explore basic musical concepts not through rules, but through experience — with the ear, the body, and the imagination.
This class is an invitation to a creative listening — to ourselves and to others.
A space of freedom, where song is born from silence and presence.
Open to adults of all ages and levels of experience.
No musical knowledge or prior singing experience is required.
Here, your voice is enough.
At times, this class will meet jointly with the Movement Improvisation class, with the aim of creating a shared space for experimentation and co-creation.
Yoga means union. It is a never-ending path that through physical and mental practice manages to get us to the present.
YogaWorks: The YogaWorks system incorporates Vinyasa flow and alignments, combined with attentive Asanas sequencing so that students acquire the fundamental knowledge they need to listen to their body with dexterity, integrity, and safety, while at the same time they honour their uniqueness.
With props: During the practice of yoga with props, we study the Asanas observing in detail our body as a whole and seeking to gain awareness of the dynamics created within it, even when it appears still.
The props will support us where and when we need them, according to our needs as different and unique bodies.
A program of exercise that through an emphasis on breathing and conscious movement manages to increase muscle stamina and strength, to improve muscle flexibility and flexibility of joints, to relax muscle tension, and furthermore it achieves a more functional and ergonomic movement. As a result, the body gets rid of useless stresses and any pain they cause, gets better posture and responds more effectively to the daily life demands. In the Props course, the goals of somatic fitness are achieved by using foam rollers or fitness balls. The instability they offer is a constant challenge for the body, which is called upon to activate and control many muscles at the same time. It thus develops mobility, balance, strength and neuromuscular joints. Exercises on the foam roller also provide muscle relaxation. At the advanced level, the elastic band (Thera band), whose resistance increases the intensity of the strengthening exercises and promotes further flexibility in stretching exercises, is also used.
A course that aims at the high rate of energy through the circularity of successive exercise-stations and consists of kinetic combinations of strengthening, stretching, endurance and speed, enhancing the proper functioning of the cardiorespiratory system, reducing fat and improving musculoskeletal endurance and flexibility.
