As a movement practice it focuses on finding the hidden connections of inner & outer space.  CD offers a higher complexity of the combinations, high physical challenges, and an emphasis on speed, dynamics, and risks.   The fundamental areas of CD covers:   - The process of understanding and collaborating with the human structure received through thousands of years of evolution with an aim to preserve the health of the musculoskeletal system and also enhance the efficiency of the body. - The development of connections between Mind & Body through playful improvisation that aim to foster creativity, and reflexivity. - The process of understanding harmony and get aligned with the universal patterns through scientifically and spiritual metaphors.

ExFloor

The Exfloor class is an immersive experience designed to deepen the connection between the dancer's body and the floor, fostering a holistic exploration of movement. Participants engage in a journey of discovery, seeking to integrate their entire body with the ground beneath them. Through a series of dynamic exercises, dancers explore various levels and dimensions, tapping into the inherent energy of their movements.

The fundamental area of Exfloor plays with the idea of a relationship of the body with the Moving Floor, a 3 dimensional space full of spirals and constant momentum using tools from a diverse range of techniques such as Flying Low, Physical Momentum, Centrifugal Empowerment, and the integration of Breath and Sound with Movement, participants are guided to explore the rich possibilities of their bodies in motion.

Each session is an opportunity for dancers to delve into the fundamental relationship between body and floor, cultivating awareness, strength, and fluidity. By embracing the principles of connectivity and energy exchange, participants expand their movement vocabulary and unlock new pathways of expression.

In an Exfloor class, dancers embark on a transformative journey, bridging the gap between self and space, and discovering the boundless potential of their physicality.
