MODERN CLASS
Modern class starts with a main total warm up, starting from the back, then isolations, pliees and muscolar stretching.
After a complete technical preparation follow diagonals for dynamic movement and modern technique studying with bases derived from ballet. The choreographic part is a full dynamic work, praticing body off-axis and off-balance, fast changes of directions and ampleness of movements, everything strictly “on music”, following harmony and expression, catching the beats, capturing moments full of deep emotions.
