This class is based on contemporary floorwork technique. It is designed especially for people who are interested to practice and understand the mechanisms of transitioning in a smooth and safe way in and out of the floor. We will work towards the basics of the technique in a friendly and fun environment. The class begins with a playful warm-up to tune in with ourselves in space and connect with each other, preparing safely for dance practice. We will focus on floorwork technique through various exercises. Through this class, we train our body to become physically strong, alerted and agile. We become friends with the floor, learn to use our weight efficiently, play with different dynamics and work towards expanding our movement vocabulary. Nourishing our bodily awareness we move with a greater sense of our own bodies, the others, and space, but also with a greater pleasure for movement. At the end of the class, we will link together some of our practised floorwork movements into a dance sequence.
Are you looking for a course to develop your technical knowledge while you are having fun? Then this class is for you!
Expect to play, fall, spiral, roll, release, jump, connect, fly, make contact, enjoy the pleasure of motion... Looking forward to meeting you on the dance floor!

Lody MeijerMaroula's floorwork class is leaving me full of energy, excitement and ideas. As a beginner she empowers me to take my dance-techniques and skills for dance improvisation to a new level. Think: uptempo, encouraging, playful and fun!
