Marta and I will be co-facilitating a Barre and Dance workshop - alternating Barre and Dance exercises followed by a Modern Dance choreography.
During the workshop you will benefit from:
Barre
Core stability to enhance balance & leg power for strengthening muscles. Barre workouts incorporate elements of strength training, yoga, Pilates and ballet.
Dance
Floor-work to explore different levels of movements and foot-work to improve posture and equilibrium. “Across the floor” exercise involves drilling dance combos practicable for the choreography.
Choreography
Finally we will learn a Modern Dance choreography - focusing on artistic movements, musicality and the flow of dance.
Community & Tea
We will end the workshop with tea, to have a chat, wind down and connect.
Let’s move and bloom together!
