Class today is Ballet w/ Pol Andrés Thió
This ballet class has a somatic, alignment and movement focus. Drawing from a vast experience of different movement methods, Pol continues to explore ballet as a way to access awareness, efficiency, texture and endurance. This class aims to demystify ballet, reconstructing it as a tool for the individual to research form with a sense of totality and pleasure.
-
This class will start with a short meditation / grounding. Then we will move into a barre before progressing to centre, travelling and jumps as we get really warm.
Taught with an emphasis on movement, this class will feel accessible to experienced movers wishing to find a practical approach to ballet and add layers to their practice.
