___________________________
Workshop A - Dancers

First Stage - Flow and awareness
(Contemporary Technique class)
The Contemporary approach of Bjerregaard is based freely on Cunningham, yoga and release technique. The technical work emphasizes flow and body wareness-always conscious of creating connections within the body and beyond. The dancers are challenged to explore their possibilities and go further then their perceived limits. The physical body and the memory are explored equally thus creating a practical awareness and functional development of the movement.

Workshop B - Novices and Amateurs
First Stage B1 - Strength and Alignment
(Body Conditioning Class)
Bjerregaard has been training dancers for years, and has realized that professionals and non-professionals run into the same obstacles due to dysfunctional strength and unhealthy body alignment. Developing your core strength is like giving yourself a body makeover: it goes beyond the surface muscles and asks a balanced development of the deep internal ones that stabilize, align and stretch the body. Simple exercises, inspired from Contemporary Dance techniques, Pilates and Yoga, will release the tension that the body retains and allow a smooth functioning of all the joints for a healthy, pain-free
posture and for increased stability in motion.
