This morning contemporary dance technique class for professionals offers a mindful and inspiring start to the day of physical practice. The class begins with a dynamic warm-up based on yoga, floorwork, and release technique—a movement method focused on releasing unnecessary muscle tension and utilizing breath, gravity, and momentum. This form of preparation supports physical and mental readiness and deepens the understanding of the body’s relationship with space.

The technical portion includes floor exercises—ranging from sequences utilizing spirals (movements based on twisting the torso around its axis) through work with tension and relaxation, to initiating movement from the head or tailbone. Next, participants develop sequences for the legs and arms, drawing on modern dance techniques, including work with body weight and the contrast between tension and relaxation. This process supports the development of control, coordination, and freedom of movement.

Movement exercises, using the body as a tool for traveling through space, strengthen strength, flexibility, and lightness of movement. Technical elements are interwoven with improvisational tasks that stimulate the imagination and creativity of the participants. The class concludes with work on a choreographic phrase, combining precision of execution with individual expression.

*Note! The class on April 7 will exceptionally take place in Room C of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, 103 Marszałkowska Street!
