My studies have shaped my inclusive approach to teaching dance, providing opportunities for everyone in the community. I believe dance can positively transform lives.
I’m deeply curious and inspired by working with diverse groups, from children to the elderly and those with disabilities.
I have extensive experience leading choreography labs and dance classes in various schools and community centers in London and Spain. As a teacher, I aim to create enjoyable experiences that address individual needs, fostering a supportive environment for skill development.
Contemporary and Improvisation Classes for Adults:
Contemporary released based classes with improvisation elements that have emphasis on the somatic approach and body mind centering. Classes are focused on the floor work, body alignment and connection when executing centre and travelling sequences and spatial awareness in order to generate refined qualities of movement. These classes enable the participants to develop technical aspects of dance while enjoying the process of dancing and moving intuitively in a holistic (body-mind) environment.
Contemporary-Creative Classes for Children and Teenagers:
These classes are based on exercises that offer a chance for creative movement maintaining soft yet rigorous ways of working with the body. Classes are designed to suit the various needs of children and teenagers according to the individual needs of the group, and the desired outcome of each session. Classes are often thematically based in order to generate fun activities thus allowing creative capacities of children to arise while improving in dance technique.
Choreography / Creative based Workshop:
Creative Choreographic workshops offer the opportunity to engage in creative dialogue with our bodies through movement. The elements of the workshops are based on tools I am using when creating work. These include use of voice, object, text, video, experiential anatomy of bodies in space, use of improvisation tasks-exercises that allowing personal and interpersonal spatial relationships to occur when moving. These creative workshops find a great application in a supportive environment that enables participants own voice and movement imagination to develop.
Dance Science Classes
A creative and vibrant classroom environment stimulates students' minds in various ways. The dance lessons integrate creativity with science, enhancing critical thinking and collaboration while students enjoy solo and group dances. They will use basic science concepts to create dance patterns that reflect scientific ideas and imagery. Students will explore how movement choices convey abstract concepts and how personal experiences influence dance interpretation. Lessons are themed around the secondary science curriculum, covering topics in Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth and Space Science.
Life Science- Vertebrate Classification, Butterfly Life Cycle, Plant Life Cycle and Photosynthesis, Cells, Organs, Body Tissues, Five Senses, Bones and Muscles
Physical Science- Magnets, Forces, Electricity, Atoms, Molecules, States of Water
Earth and Space Sciences- Weather, Constellations, Moon Phases, Water Cycle, Erosion, Weathering, Rocks
