These workshops are geared for dancers, dancer\/\u200bpilates teachers and physios who work with dancers.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Having worked with profes\u00adsional dancers for over 25 years, both privately and in groups, has given me many profound insights that have already helped dozens of dancers fine-tune the approach to their tech\u00adnique and helped them find access to the possi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties of their already highly trained bodies. I saw many dancers find more joy in their profes\u00adsion by devel\u00adoping their own under\u00adstanding of their needs, and more autonomy to navi\u00adgate that of what is demanded of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Series I<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this series I intend to bring compact and easy-to-use images\/\u200bexercises\/\u200bcues to improve your dancing and teaching, and overall ability to build bridges between the high demands for this profes\u00adsion with the phys\u00adical reality of the dancer. For all the mate\u00adrial that will be taught, you will be offered clear and direct connec\u00adtions to dance tech\u00adnique. Exer\u00adcises will be done on a mat of with small and cheap props, readily acces\u00adsible to all dancers\/\u200bstudents\/\u200bteachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These topics come together as they are so inter\u00adcon\u00adnected, and we will further explore their rela\u00adtion\u00adships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect to learn how to access deeper move\u00adment in the hip for turn out, pointing the foot more smoothly and without impinging the ankle, going to a strong demi\/\u200bfull pointe, aligning the (hyper\u00adex\u00adtended) knee. Also we will focus on insightful ideas to cue the legs to bear your weight, and to use your feet well to mini\u00admize forces through the feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
