DANCE WORKSHOP WITH MONIKA

Saturday Dance Workshops with MONICA from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m Address: School of Gymnasium in Masná 13, Prague 1, gym hall on the ground floor on the right Dance Yoga Animal Ground Lesson You will dance through the fluid movement of yoga asanas. Dance yoga includes the basics of yoga as a healthy movement with a compensatory movement elements from dance, proper breathing and inspiring music. Animal Ground movement is a new dance concept incorporated into this class with yoga. It involves moving smoothly into positions working with your own body weight. We often move close to the ground and coordinately engage the muscles of the whole body. Buttocks and knees are kept above the ground, palms and feet on the ground. At first, we practice on the spot, later we learn movement into space. This is a new concept of dance, which is similar to animal movements in its economical use of muscle work. This way of dancing improves the mobility of the shoulders and hips, strength, flexibility, endurance. The movement engages the whole body, including the use of support on the hands and arms, thereby strengthening the upper back. In particular, the center of the body, the "core", is significantly strengthened. Even a beginner can practice this type of dance. The movement respects the anatomy and does not strain the ligaments and tendons. Modern Dance Lesson Modern Dance Lesson inspired by Merce Cunningham's technique develops coordination, flexibility, strength and stability. Attention is turned to physical movement, center of gravity, anatomy and movement aesthetics. We work standing in place and moving into the space accompanied by suitable music. Lesson of Dance Improvisation There is a type of physical activity that offers a connection with one's own emotionality and self-awareness through authentic movement. Improvisation improves mood, personal well-being, increases the ability to cope with stress, To the sound of relaxing music, we improvise according to the sensitive guidance of the lecturer based on certain movement techniques of improvisation with the involvement of imagination and fantasy. We work solo, in pairs and in groups. I have developed my own methodology for all the mentioned lessons based on many years of experience teaching dance and healthy movement. I am a dance teacher graduate of the Department of Dance at HAMU, where I also teach, and I am certified Yoga Instructor.
