(contemporary) Ballett
2025-10-01 10:30 - 12:00 (Europe/Oslo) | PRODA Oslo, Marstrandgata 8, Oslo, Norge
with Helge Freiberg
Class description:
This class is a ballett class with a mix of different styles and influences combined with my own authentic way of moving to create a wholesome challenging experience for dancers in an atmosphere which invites to develop a new awareness of our muscle memory as well as explore the connection between physicality and mind power…
The exercises tend to be a bit longer, choreographed in a connected way around changing main themes, always focusing on an organic healthy way of moving the entire body with a concentrated, yet free and flowing energy to offer the possibility of recognising automatisms and exploring new patterns.
A main focus lies in combining coordination through different dynamics, finding a harmony in dancing legs and upper body simultaneously by incorporating contractions, releases or twists and enhancing awareness of rhythm, breath and movement through our system.
The build up of the class is leaning somewhat closely on a Vaganova ballet class-adding isolations and weight shifts in order to let go of existing tension-in which I like to break up the style of traditional frontal teaching so we get to enjoy and explore together.
