Anastasia’s classes
This Modern Dance class by Anastasia focusses on building strength and stamina through dynamic exercises which are coupled with slower (and more somatic) tasks to inspire continuity and subtleness. We will explore movement principles such as flow, floor work, use of weight, movement qualities and the proprioception of one’s own body in relation to the space and the other. You are welcome to challenge yourself and make mistakes, all in a playful and safe environment. Through custom made exercises, guided improvisation and choreography sequences you become a more versatile mover, develop your dance skills and gain confidence to move and improvise with others.
Anastasia Kostner is an international dancer and choreographer with an investigative mind toward physical awareness and movement research. Her education background lies in contemporary/modern dance, choreography and Rolfing (structural integration), which make her classes playful, creative, and caring for physical and mental health.
“The line in the course description that caught my attention was ‘free yourself from your head’ and that was absolutely right. I always felt very nice afterwards. The teacher is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and knows how to bond the group.”
– Huibert, course participant (season 2023-2024/block 1)
