From August : Dance with Tamar

A New Season of Dance Classes at Coachwerks. Wednesdays @ 6:45. £5

A combination of effort and pleasure, good music, and a balance between being instructed and feeling free to dance. Be prepared to find yourself in some unlikely positions.

An improvisation based dance class which combines contemporary dance principles with sensation motivated movement. The class is suitable to those experienced in dance as well as those not experienced but with a willingness to move. In the flow of things there is no time to think, the body has to react and gradually learn to trust, to enjoy, to take risks and to share.
My influences: 'Release' related techniques. Gaga movement language by Ohad Naharin. Instantaneous composition by Julyen Hamilton.

The class offers:
A good combination of effort and pleasure (that is both sweating and smiling) Good music all the way through A balance between set exercises and the freedom to dance An opportunity to let the body speak for itself. That is forgetting-about-what-we-think-we-are-doing-and-letting-the-body-do-what-it-knows-how-to-do-but-sometimes-forgets-and-what-it-didn't- know-it-knows-how-to-do-but-now-can't-get-enough-of

Some things that people said about the class...
'lively, wide range of music'
'going back to the enjoyment of moving'
'forgetting and remembering my body as I dance'
'examining every bone and muscle'
'inspiring teacher'
