Rooted in Ohad Naharin’s evolving movement language, GagaLab offers a framework to develop your artistry while connecting to your skills, imagination, and passion to move. Awaken your senses and turn on your engines in morning Gaga/dancers classes. Then apply Gaga tools to Naharin’s renowned, challenging choreography in daily repertory sessions, and deepen your understanding of Gaga in afternoon Gaga/metodika classes, including some with Naharin himself.

The GagaLab is intended for professional dancers and advanced dance students age 18+. The GagaLab in Italy is a uniquely immersive experience, with all participants dancing, dining, and sleeping in the lush surroundings of Orsolina28.

Retreat with us to a winter wonderland, connect with dancers from around the world, focus on your artistry in a nurturing environment, and revel in New Year’s festivities in a stunning location on December 31.
