Contemporary dance class Happy feet
„We start with an exercise focusing on lengthening in all directions at the same time. Using our own way of moving we pass through 3 different stages: pausing, moving and dancing. Our goal here is to bring the body and the mind together, so that every little part of the body gets warm. When it gets hot, we pump it up. We go for it fully, not forgetting anything we have just done before. We explore the speed, the dynamics and apply quality restrictions. We train and challenge the way we dance; we search for enjoyment not only in easy, but also in difficult movements; we strengthen the body to be ready to do anything; we explore the space within ourselves and the group. Technique meets performing. “
Workshop Solo dance
How to make a solo dance strong and powerful: full dancing, rhythm, precise pauses and clear expression. Ingrid Kerec
Ingrid Kerec is a former professional dancer, and has completed her training as a Certified Rolfer® and Rolfing®Movement practitioner in 1998.
Her work covers all aspects of Rolfing – from manual work at her Practice at Rolfing Studio Wien, to her teaching Applied Anatomy at different professional dance schools and institutions in Vienna. She also gives Movement coaching workshops for professional groups, such as Dance, Yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonic and many other different sport and fitness disciplines.
Additionally, through her dance training and practical experience, she has developed a form of body-work specifically designed for all types of dancers and dance teachers. This work is based on Rolfing concepts and the theory of Dance Medicine.
Dance anatomy
How to deepen a plié?
Where to work on a turn-out?
How to open the vertebra in the roll down?
How to get stability in relevé and maintain flexibility in jumping?
This workshop is an alternative approach to a dance class, regardless of the basic technique (modern, contemporary, ballet or hip-hop).
We will find answers to these and other questions, both theoretically and practically.
Through learning about the properties of muscles, fascia and bone, we will deepen our own knowledge, improve technique, maintain healthy body structure/function – as well as prevent overloading or injuring ourselves during our daily training. Joan van der Mast
