It is open to all levels and to anyone curious in widening their movement knowledge. Particularly the workshop assists: -tango dancers achieve a joyful physicality through building complicity with their partner and developing their grounding; -contact improvisation dancers enjoy a deeper connection to their own inner rhythm and imagination through their emotional awareness and its creative forms of expression Elements of biomecanics, martial arts, physical theatre, bioenergetics and ecological principles will support our newly developed expressivity.
