This course is for ladies who seek to find their own body harmony in movement and experience the oriental approach to womanhood. The starting point of the movements are the pelvis and the belly and their various uses.

 

The lessons focus on movement principles in order enrich the range of movement of each person, allowing her to gain flexibility in joints, stronger connection between body parts and the overall feeling of being more in control of muscular as well as joint driven movement. In the lessons we will work very intensively with music and rhythms, listening and interpreting the music, as well as finding the way to individual expression. The participants will also be given the opportunity to find their personal aesthetics of movement.
