Olivia Ancona - Gaga

10:00 - 11:30

Sold Out / Ausverkauft

Gaga/people classes are taught by dancers who have worked closely with Ohad Naharin. Teachers guide the participants using a series of evocative instructions that build one on top of the other. Rather than copying a particular movement, each participant in the class actively explores these instructions, discovering how he or she can interpret the information and perform the task at hand. Gaga/people classes offer a creative framework for participants to connect to their bodies and imaginations, increase their physical awareness, improve their flexibility and stamina, and experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.

Lyrical Jazz is a active paced dance class with popular music. Dancers are guided through full a warm-up with physical isolations, tests of balance, strength and endurance.

The exceptional American dancer and choreographer Rasta Thomas is considered one of the world's most sought-after and award-winning dance experts and is also celebrated as a "classical god" and charismatic "pop star of the dance". Not only has he accomplished nearly everything in classical dance, but he also appeared on Broadway and in Hollywood movies before founding his own dance company at the zenith of his dancing career and the internationally touring hit show "Rock The Ballet "created. With this crossover show, he was very successful in mixing the genre of ballet and contemporary dance styles with the aim of opening up access to dance for younger generations and attracting new audiences.
