Class description

“The Sensory Mass”

Building on the experience as a contemporary dancer, “The Sensory Mass” training focuses on working with space, the senses, the body, and the connection to others in the room. It develops both physical strength and adaptability while encouraging creativity and joy. Through sensory and physical exploration, the goal is to find an organic flow where movement feels both safe and expressive.
The practice begins with scanning and activating different body parts, creating a natural descent to the floor. Participants explore ways to expand muscular capacity and speed, leading to exercises that integrate release, natural weight, floorwork, and acrobatic elements. Improvisation and partner work add an extra layer of awareness and responsiveness.
The class is open to movers of different backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels.
