CLASSES
Contemporary dance class (Intermediate) with Petra Van Gompel
​
Class will begin with the pleasure of dancing as we explore and practice the diversity of movement languages. We will pass through the different articulations in the body, moving from the subtle to the larger movements, from falling to standing up, from speeding up to slowing down, playing with different tensions in the body and movements that fold or unfold into space. ​This practice of movement will reinforce body awareness and natural strength. It also challenges the coordination, spacial orientation, and invites a broader range of motion. Classes will include a warm-up, short phrases traveling across the floor, improvisations and fragments of choreography.

Vinyasa Yoga class with Petra Van Gompel
​
Vinyasa is a dynamic yoga practice guided by the pace of the breath. Diverse yoga postures are fluidly connected, challenging strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. It is an energizing journey that plays with gravity, explores the breath, and embraces waves of movement. By respecting the body’s architecture, yoga fosters a stronger awareness of authentic bodily expression and invites a more relaxed and focused mind.

Contemporary dance class (Intermediate/Advanced) with Luis Marrafa (coming soon)
​
The movement is supported by a layer of mechanical and organic processes that not only give rise to an abstraction movement of a structured discourse but also sketch a perspective between the
functionality of the body and the effect of the technical application "dance technique". The music in relation with Movement - Phenomena that complete each other, has an essential aspect in his dance classes.
