This Contemporary dance series is filled with modern dance techniques, floorwork and improvisation. Enjoying the learning process with the necessary discipline and developing your own movement style is the core of the classes. There is always room for input from the group.
What will we be doing?
Vainergill’s lessons consist of a warm-up, improvisation, and choreography. In the warm-up we spend time training the necessary basic techniques such as bouncing/grounding, undulation, waving and polyrhythms. In the guided improvisation we look for your movement style. The different techniques and elements are bound together with West African dance aesthetics. The basic techniques and your way of moving all come together in the choreography.
At the end of the series you will have developed into a versatile mover.
In Siena’s classes you will dive into various aspects of Contemporary dance such as floorwork, composition, (contact) improvisation and choreography. You will do this so Siena’s movement language, which is fluid, grounded and groovy while also awakening your own creativity and way of dancing. We focus on creating a safe and playful group dynamic – as Siena finds this one of the most important and fun aspects of dance – you will grow collectively and individually. In this course the most important thing is that you come as you are, with an open heart and mind. Everyone is welcome, no matter how experienced they are.

“The set-up was very nice, so we started with a good warm-up and then dance exercises, which were creative, educational and fun. We were gently guided in improvising (something that I find quite daunting) and it felt very familiar. I am very happy that I took the lessons!”
– Esmee (course participant season 2023-2024/block 2)
