Class description (Contemporary dance class)?
NEWS at Studio Bizz
this Winter 2012!!
This class aims at learning contemporary dance
techniques and choreographies (from modern to lyrical!) and emphasizes fluidity
and energy in the movement, centre awareness and also works on alignment. This
class also encourages each participant's creativity and self-expression. Non-competitive environment.
Why dance?
Benefits range from greater body awareness, coordination, increasing
flexibility,
blood circulation and overall well-being, and releasing the nervous
system.
How can I improve my mobility and ease in movement?
Feel free to come in to the studio a few minutes before class to
warm-up whatever
parts of your body you feel need more "oiling". Although we warm-up
through routines
at the beginning of class, our bodies are all different and some
muscles might need
a bit more of attention than others...give your body what it needs.
What to wear or bring for this class?
Wear comfortable, stretchy or loose clothing (such as yoga-like pants,
t-shirt or tank-top),
as you will be moving and stretching. Also bring a water bottle for
hydration.
What kind of food can I eat before class?
Food that will give you energy and sustain your body during exercise,
high in potassium and rich in magnesium, for example pasta, dates,
nuts, fruits
(bananas or coconut water are great!). Make sure you also eat right after dance class,
so that you can regenerate your muscles & your body with enough
minerals and vitamins.
