Contemporary Dance Class: This class aims to encourage a sense of body awareness and efficiency as well as physical articulation. It will start with simple exercises on the floor to build strength and to form a good foundation in order to get the body ready for the day. Special emphasis will be made on  healthy body mechanics, efficient use of weight, falls to the floor,  jumps etc.

Contact improvisation class uses the idea of collaboration in a duet form but can also be danced in groups or as a solo using physicalobjects (floor, walls, chair, etc.) as the point of contact. Every class is different, depends on the level of the dancers. My priority is to connect with each dancer, each personality and exchange the knowledge and the quality of moving. I direct the dancers to understand the technique of weight transfer, weight sharing, counter balance, rolling, falling, suspension, and lifting.
