The classes are designed to give an overall physical workout, increased technical ability and to be expressive and have fun with choreography at the end of the class. The classes are divided into levels so that everyone has the chance to develop according to the level that they are at. If you are insecure about what level suits you, just try the one that fits your schedule best and talk to Jenny after.


Modern/contemporary
The focus of the class is to embrace as much of the modern/contemporary field as possible. We do a thorough warm up with choreographed exercises, improvisation, flow, floorwork and stretch. The second half of the class is dedicated to choreography where we let different kinds of music and expressions inspire us. The choreography is changed every 3 weeks.


Jazz
In jazz the focus lies on strong technique and musicality. The warm up contains isolations, back exercises, foot and legwork, stretch and strength. The warm up is followed by exercises across the floor and choreography. The choreographies embrace different styles of jazzdance- classic jazz, musical theatre, lyrical, commercial.. The choreography is changed every 3 weeks.


Ballet
Ballet is an amazing way to build strength that you can use in other styles as well as enjoy it in the class. The technique builds the strength and knowledge you need for turns, pirouettes and leaps and trains your musicality.
The class starts with exercises at the barre followed by stretch and exercises on the floor. We work on correct placement and development of technique but we also enjoy and allow our selves to feel like ballet dancers. The class also involves use of space and formations. In the beginners level classes we learn the vocabulary and the intent behind each exercise.


Lyrical jazz
Lyrical is a soft version of jazz. It can also be seen as a combination of jazz and contemporary. It is an expressive form of dance and the music of choice is often soft with strong expression of the lyrics. A long and dynamic warm up with a bit more floorwork is followed by choreography where we emphasize the words in the song and what the lyrics express.


Graham inspired modern
This class focuses on the technique created by Martha Graham (1894-1991).The technique is one of the first techniques created to train the body for contemporary dance and focuses on floorwork and articulation of the torso. It is dramatic and expressive and very effective in building core strength. The class starts with exercises on the floor, followed by standing exercises and across the floor.


Stretch and placement
These are open level classes and can be joined by anyone regardless of previous practice, age and physical ability. The goal of the class is to reset and recharge the body through soft stretching and strengthening exercises. The exercises are performed to soft music on yoga mats. The aim of the classes is the same every time but the exercises are various and adapts to the needs of the group on the day. The studio has yoga mats at your disposal.



Deep stretching
This is a class for you who want to work on flexibility for higher extensions, splits and so on. After a short warm up we will start with general stretch and placement and then work deeper into the bigger muscle groups. We do the exercises on yogamats and at the barre. We finish with relaxation. Not suitable for beginners.
