Kurs with Daniele di Felice

The class is based on the different ways each one of us approaches the floor and the fully expression of our body's physicality. The first part consists on a brief conditioning and strengthening warm up; I usually give some time for a guided improvisation so the dancers can explore their body and the way to move, following simple and easy rules that can help and suggest new ideas to better go through space. From basic and simple movements across the floor we will also use the power of MOMENTUM, which is fundamental especially in this part, and working towards and against gravity. My goal is to make sure the dancers have fun and push over their limit to discover new aspects of the dancing according to their own personal level.
