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 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.

The class will take place periodically in independent cycles of three or four sessions. Each cycle will focus on a different theme, exploring fundamental principles and tools of contemporary dance technique, choreographic composition and improvisation.

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.

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.

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.

An inclusive movement, dance and expression workshop open to people with and without disabilities.
The aim is to create a group where every member—regardless of physical, sensory or other differences—feels welcomed, respected and equally valued, while supporting the personal growth and empowerment of all participants, regardless of their previous experience.
The class draws on improvisation, body awareness and creative collaboration, with practices adapted to the abilities and needs of each participant. Our intention is for everyone to take part as an equal member of the group, without assigning anyone the role of leader or guide. Together, participants support a process of mutual learning, exchange and interaction.

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).

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.

Pilates is not just exercise. It is not a random choice of particular movements. Pilates is a system of physical and mental conditioning that can enhance your physical strength, flexibility and coordination as well as reduce stress, improve mental focus and foster an improved sense of wellbeing.
Pilates can be for anyone and everyone.

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.

Aerial Sliks & Rope

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.

Static Trapeze & Aerial Hoop

Static Trapeze and Aerial Hoop, two aerial apparatuses that transport us to a space where we can defy gravity, combining their solid structure with the fluidity of aerial movement. The body discovers new abilities and possibilities for balance through static poses, dynamic transitions, spins and changes in height. We develop flexibility and strength, while at the same time, we discover our own personal aerial expression through these two pieces of equipment that converse and complement one another.

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 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.

The session includes exercises, yoga, pilates stretching, chair yoga and relaxation at the beginning and end of the class. With the of use of essential equipment like straps, blocks, exercise balls, rod sticks and more, the class helps body work out without fatigue, sweat and potential injuries. Our objective is to improve body posture, mobility and flexibility.
This class is for everybody, irrespective gender, age or physical condition.
* For those who will attend the class, we offer 20% discount on the session fees with Ms. Maria Krina, our mental wellness counselor and specialist on nutrition, herbs and Bach flower remedies.

Physical re-training course designed to improve body mobility and functionality. With the Feldenkrais method, we first retrain the musculoskeletal body structure that is necessary for a functional movement and at a second level we stabilize aiming to strengthening. It benefits those suffering from neuromuscular and chronic pain and those who wish to expand their movement skills. It is suitable for all ages and requires no previous experience.
