Ever heard of the phrase 'the floor is your friend'? Welcome to our "Contemporary Basics: Floorwork" course, led by the experienced instructor Francesca! This course offers an exploration of contemporary dance, focusing on the intriguing technique of floorwork.

In contemporary dance, floorwork involves choreography performed while grounded on the floor. It combines elements of fluidity, strength, and creativity, providing a unique dimension to your dance repertoire.

What sets this course apart is our emphasis on balancing technique and creative expression. We believe that dance is a form of artistic exploration. Each participant is encouraged to find their unique voice within contemporary floorwork.

You'll have the freedom to experiment with slow, graceful

movements that convey relaxation, or explore dynamic and energetic possibilities that captivate the audience. Our aim is to boost your confidence in expressing yourself through this versatile dance style.

This course is open to dancers of all levels, from beginners to those with experience in other dance styles. Francesca will guide you in mastering the fundamentals of contemporary floorwork, ensuring a strong foundation for your journey.

"Contemporary Basics: Floorwork" offers a welcoming and inclusive environment where your individuality is valued. You'll connect with fellow participants who share your love for dance, fostering a supportive and collaborative community.

Practical

Wear clothes in which you can move easily and which cover your legs, shoulders and arms (no shorts, no tanktops ...) and bring a bottle of water. We dance barefoot.

There is a an-hour lunch break: bring a light lunch from home or buy something at the Entrepot Café in OPEK.

Level of experience

Level X: open to all enthusiastic movers no matter their experience.
