CLASSICAL
This class aims to consolidate and perfect the technique learned in previous levels. In addition to adding new targeted and complex exercises, precise execution of previously learned exercises will be required, with particular attention to interpretation and emotion. Students become responsible for themselves, both in the classroom and on stage, which is why this class is only accessible to those who are aware of the constant commitment required by this discipline. The pointe program will be carried out according to the physical abilities and joint and muscle development of each individual student.
GRAHAM
After learning and perfecting the main concepts of the Graham Technique, the exercises become more complex, both technically and musically. In this class, students begin to study contraction, release, spiral, weight transfer and the dynamics of movement. Advanced body awareness and musicality are required in order to perform different combinations with complete autonomy and confidence.
CONTEMPORARY DANCE
During intermediate-level contemporary dance classes, special attention is given to movement in space, changes of direction, dynamics and the exploration of off-axis movements, using the main contemporary dance techniques. The class begins with a warm-up, followed by pliés, tendus and specific floor and upper-body exercises. In the center, students work on dynamic sequences, using different directions and techniques to develop body awareness. Floorwork sequences work with body weight on the floor, focusing on fluidity, dynamics and control. The class then continues with jumps, both in the center and diagonally, and specific exercises to interact with space. Finally, a guided improvisation session allows participants to discover and explore the infinite possibilities of movement. Each class then ends with a choreographed sequence.
