” In these classes, we will intertwine technique and imagination, awakening the body as an instrument of discovery. We begin by waking it up, stretching it, and activating it to activate the energy that dwells within it.

We will explore technical notions while opening space for liberation and expansion. Each proposal is an invitation to challenge attention, refine coordination, give voice to expression, and unleash creativity. Here, questions arise with each movement: How do I move? How do I feel? How can I create my own body? The body ceases to be a presence and becomes language. ”

[Sérgio Matias]

Note: Come try it out on September 17! Classes start on October 1.

The aim is to involve the student in an exploration that stimulates their technical and creative potential, giving them the intrinsic pleasure of dancing.

The freedom of contemporary dance, making use of the body, movement, gesture, voice, words, etc., makes it possible to develop interpretation, sensitivity and emotion through movement.

Through various exercises, improvisation, team spirit and stage presence, students discover and become aware of their bodies and their expressiveness.

It’s a space for collective creation!

The experience of dance plays a fundamental role in the development of any child, stimulating imagination, the ability to manipulate materials and organize them into different forms, the capacity for abstraction, as well as self-esteem and relationships with others.

In this class, in a very playful way, we will discover the movements of our bodies through exercises, games and simple proposals.

We will explore shapes, rhythms, dynamics, levels, objects, etc., contributing to a greater perception of our own body, space/time and the world around us.
