The Workshops

Structure of the space Like the pieces of chess, we have certain code of movements and we learn about the totality of the possibilities. How to integrate in the dance: Action, reaction, and rhythm, departing from the conscience of the movement in the space. This workshop describes the undamental tools used in the workshops saturday and sunday.

Rhytm and music from the body The idea is to open the door to the personal music interpretation. Putting the body to music's service. Working in different stages: 1-Rhythm; 2-Quality of movement; 3-Interpretation.

Technique for an organic movement & sacadas The body is created in spirals. There we put the focus to discover what kind of movements we naturally create in between the couple and how to use them to develop an organic dance. In the last part of the course we will work with Sacadas. Notice this course is in two lessons.

Dynamics in the dance & ganchos Studying different qualities of movement (speed, form, weigh, reaction, etc) to enrich the improvisation opening the spectrum of the dance. Notice this course is in two lessons.
