CLASS

# Raul: Through Movement with VAYA

The training is an invitation to try, train, play and challenge yourself. We work with specific movement material, as well as exercises and training sequences, inspired by martial arts, fitness training and the search for the consciousness of our body. The movement material seeks to challenge physically through speed, the use of space, a powerful flow of energy, and acrobatic elements; as well as mentally through the use of isolation, unreliable coordination, and increased responsiveness.

# Karolin: training

In addition to some technical elements Karolin invites the dancers to be aware of the body weight and to play with the rhythm of movement. In this particular class, she shares her interest in using the body as a drummer, varying with many different rhythms and using the body musicality to synchronize as a group. The dancers get trained in coordination and sense of rhythm. Her passion for details and energy through a choreographed form has brought her over the years to develop a very special way to create movement material – her mouth-beatbox system as a steady companion. She encourages people to dance without fear and hesitation, using physicality and full energy. Influenced by various dance techniques, floor work is a very important part of the class. In general, this class is usually considered a very powerful, joyous, and challenging class that attracts dancers who love the physicality of dancing.
