Urban Choreography

Course with Ruby

The focus of the class is learning and performing different choreographies. We will warm up together, groove in and practice different techniques through the choreographies. By performing different rhythms, expansive movements and performances, each individual can sharpen their awareness of their own physicality and expand the spectrum of movement possibilities. The main focus is on supporting the participants in their growth and refining the quality of movement and musicality. The dance styles in the class will be comprehensive and you can use and deepen your foundation and the basics that you have learned in the other courses in a different way in the class.
