WHAT IS IT: Ways to Begin are dance classes. Each class is based on the principles and techniques of Skinner Releasing Technique. This transformative dance technique can be also considered as a contemplative meditation in movement. Introducing very specific practices in every class, we’ll discover how much is possible in our perception, in our dance, in our environment. I am looking forward to work this enriching experience with you. The group classes which I was longing for some time, will start with small groups. The ciasses are held in English

HOW IS IT: There is no preparation for these classes. You start from wherever you are that day, that moment. What you need is comfy and warm clothes and a bottle of water.

My education and practice in dance is cultivated by a variety of dance techniques within Western dance tradition. Since 1997 I am informed by a wide range of somatic practices from Feldenkreis to Authentic Movement, from Body Mind Centering to Shiatsu to mention a few including Skinner Releasing Technique. Having given a pause to my teaching practice in dance, I am glad that I’m starting teaching again this powerful technique which allows me to grow as a teacher as it allows us to grow together, free, resilient and responsible.
