Contemporary Dance - Tuesdays at 9:30

Contemporary Dance Class
Instructor: Einav Barkevitz
Schedule: Tuesdays, 9:30–11:00
Location: Studio 2, Floor 1, New Bichurei Ha’Itim Center, 2 Leonardo da Vinci St., Landmark North Tower

Class Description:
This class is grounded in a variety of techniques and approaches derived from floorwork practices, including Release, Fly Low, and Soft Acrobatics. The session begins with dynamic warm-ups and strengthening exercises designed to develop the physical capacities required for these techniques. We will focus on breaking down specific elements into clear, accessible components. In the final part of the class, we integrate the learned materials into an energetic, flowing combination that incorporates the elements practiced throughout the session. Each class focuses on several core elements, which are deconstructed and simplified. Multiple difficulty levels are offered for each element, allowing participants to choose the version that suits them best and progress at their own pace.

The goal of the class is to encourage curiosity, boldness, expanded range, and enjoyment of movement. This is achieved through the development of technical tools, gradual building of difficulty, and cultivating confidence in floor interaction. We practice working with momentum, expanding ranges of motion, efficiency, organic flow, and dynamism in space.
