About Acrodance:
During the class we will learn about our bodies by interconnecting elements of acrobatics and dance movements. Through exercises to develop the body skills that underlie everything, we will learn to combine two worlds, that of acrobatics and that of dance with the aim of enhancing and making more fluid movement and body expressiveness. We will address different levels:
The work is divided in 4 height levels.
Level 1 working on floorwork; level 2 being quadrupedal/ intermediate heigh, including shoulder rolls and break dance moves, elbow work; level 3 standing, with variations of cartwheels, passing trough handstand; level 4 working on jumps and aerial figures.
We will work on the fluidity of movement and transitions. To give space to the expressive and artistic universe of each participant, we will work with improvisation and movement research tasks.
