Part 1: Classes with Anna Thu Schmidt (week 34-43)
Enjoy dancing with yourself and with others!
The classes offer practice in contemporary dance where we develop body awareness, discover our own unique dance, and expand our movement vocabulary. Each class starts with a gentle warm-up to connect with ourselves in a safe space and to explore our own movements through dance improvisation. After connecting with the space and each other, we continue with technical exercises, floor work, and movement phrases across the floor. The last part of the class is dedicated to composition tasks and working with choreography.

Part 2: Classes with Rannei Grenne (week 44-49)
