Contemporary
Profitraining

Felipe Fizkal
The contemporary dance class is divided into three moments: A beginning where we warm up with floor work exercises and improvisations to recognize the Push / Yield / Reach / Pull patterns. In a second face we work on the middle level where we focus on the relationship between the pelvis and other bases to train the awareness of the weight and its transmission. We play with the three levels, floor, middle and height, develop an improvisation where we understand spirals and create the awareness of the horizontal level, as the one that allows us to turn and rotate. From there we work with different choreographic materials that challenge our memory, the motor coordination and the agility to go out and enter the ground with different dynamics.
