Modern Limon

I use my personal dance and performing experiences to give the students not just a technical information and physical experience, but to help them to grow as performers. 
My class is bassed on principles of Limón technique. I work with natural principles as ... fall of the waight (as movement impulse-swing movement quality), breath (as natural and essential part of our existence in connection with the movement), use of the floor (wich is our constant support), imagination (wich helps us to sense and feel the body, the movement more sensitive)... 
These principles I combine with the floor work wich helps the body to soften, release, helps the body to connect, trust and use the floor as a partner. Besides the technical clarity and I try to guide the dancers to feel and understand their body, to feel the movement in connection with the music, with the space as a physical, mental and emotional unigue.
