Modern Dance

Course with Tanja Emmerich

Tanja's classes are based on a classic lesson structure consisting of floor work, pliés, tendus and swings, sometimes with small jumps, as well as expansive combinations through the space, combined with floor elements. These are dynamic classes in search of “the flow”. The choreographies are sometimes calm, sometimes wild and sometimes playful.
