Dance Atelier – Physical and dance theatre for all ages!

Instinct, courage and fluidity of movement:
"The atelier is based on the work of physicality, to understand the relationship of the human body to the ground and the air that surrounds us. The subject of our lessons is the development of movement at different levels - upside down, balance in different parts of the body and supported exercises on the hands. We draw inspiration from authentic moments that happen to each of us during the day. Our lessons always start with a game, which serves to awaken the mind and body. Later, we focus on short exercises that connect the final phrase. An important aspect of our work is exercises that lead to the creation of trust within the group."
The dance atelier is intended for young dancers and for all those who are involved in or wish to be involved in dance.
