The class will begin on stools where we will take a journey through the spine to experience how this effects the body alignment and opens the spaces in the joints. Each day will have a different focus ,starting with the lumbar spine into the thoracic and lastly the cervical . Thereafter we will explore the new found spaces and alignment in a Ballet Class.
The Ballet Class will allow the dancer to rethink their body as it is now with the information that was covered in the gyro. It will be divided in two parts Barre and Centre. The barre will emphasise strengthening the core awareness and movement initiations with the new alignment. The Centre Work will challenge the dancer to use this experience to explore changes when revisiting ballet vocabulary. The goal is to find more ease, efficiency and flow in the movement.
Gyrokinesis ® Essentials is a system developing created by Gina Muensterkoetter and a team of Master teachers after Julio Horvath. Gyrokinesis is a well known and amazing system. The Essentials prepare people to begin or dig deeper. The system helps decompress the spine starting with the lumbar into thoracic and cervical. I personally have been practicing Gyrokinesis® since 2000 as a continuing education which has saved my body and the Essentials awoke my body as it is now and helped me discover and continue dancing.
