Contemporary dance workshop for kids and teenagers
In this two-day workshop we will focus on how to make our body move with more precision and clarity. Through exercises, we will get in contact with the floor, we will find levers of movement using the weight of our body and we will be led to learn motor phrases, emphasizing on the qualities of movement, the use of breathing, energy management and all those elements that help us to be accurate and clear in our physical intention and, finally, to enjoy the joy of movement.
