Contemporary dance course with Lucia Holinová Chovančíková

We invite you to a closed 3-month contemporary dance course with the great dancer and choreographer Lucia Holinová Chovančíková!

If you have been doing movement/dance for some time and want to improve your movement and dance qualities, acquire technical skills in your movement and expand your movement vocabulary, this course is just for you!

Contemporary dance is a dance style that combines and uses the techniques of modern dance, ballet, jazz, improvisation, but also martial arts (aikido, tai-chi,...) or somatic approaches (feldenkrais, Alexander technique, BMC).  Contemporary dance works with efficiency and energy recycling in dance, uses fall, hold, momentum and floor work, flow or inverted body positions. 

The course is intended for everyone who already has experience with dance, movement, yoga, gymnastics, tai-chi, aikido, etc. They are not suitable for people who are just starting out with movement and dancing or they are just starting to get to know their body in motion (we recommend our morning lessons focused on getting to know the body and movement or individual lessons focused on movement or dance development).
