Open Class: Contemporary Plus 50+

Open Class with Erika Winkler

This class is designed for dance enthusiasts in their 50s and older, and for those who may not have danced in a while but would like to try again. Contemporary Plus is for all former dancers with previous experience, who like to move physically, are interested in contemporary dance techniques and enjoy improvisation in everyday life and in the arts. This course offers the opportunity to get back on the dance floor after a longer break and to try out new dance techniques under professional guidance. Life experience is desired. Also people who are younger than 50 years and feel addressed are welcome - quite freely after the motto: "Dancing always goes!"
