Pauliina Latva’s Heels and Contemporary Dance Intensive Courses in Spring 2024

Contemporary Dance Intensive Course

Contemporary Dance is a so-called umbrella style under which several different dance styles can fit. Contemporary Dance is influenced both by art and different dance styles. In the classes, you get to know the economic use of your own body and the utilization of gravity in movement. Floor work is also an important part of the lessons. The lessons also include various guided improvisation exercises, which allow the dancer to release their own creativity. At the end of the class, the things learned in the class will be used in a choreography.

You can join this open level course even if you have no previous experience in contemporary dance. However, some dance experience would be helpful.
