Teacher Contemporary

Impulses Gravity Rebounce Flow Class
Vasko describes his class: “this is a physical contemporary dance class. During the class we will work with biomechanics, impulses, gravity, rebounce, flow and long movement. We will be playing with floorwork and different levels. I use technical principals from contemporary dance, breaking and acrobatics. Collecting it together we can use extreme physical movements while not losing the flow. We play with speed and softness.It’s mostly a technical class, with the focus on combining technical principles with physical abilities. The main idea is to perform it in an effortless quality without loosing the power and to work with external and internal sources.”
