Technique class

The technique class is based on Humphrey-Limon principles, which emphasize the natural rhythm of fall and recovery and the use of breath and weight. 

The principles are discovered throught upper body movements, swings of arms and legs, drops and sospensions, energy and resistance, which help dancers to provide an organic approach to movement.

Focus is pointed on different movement dynamics, on rhythm and musicality and use of space, in line with the great expansivity of the Limon’s work.

The natural rhythm of breath and the use of weight encourages less muscolar tension; putting the attention on dynamics, dancers feel released in the movements, and can allow themselves to discover the humanity in their dance.

Human anatomy is very respected in the work, dancers should not try to reach some aesthetic perfection, but find the way to work with basic principles of movement and dynamic, which bring freedom to the spirit and keep all bodies healthy. 

Movements, forms and shapes from Limon’s Repertory could be part of the class as an inspiring experience for young and mature dancers.
