Countertechnique® with Maya LaLiberté

ABOUT THE CLASS

The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making the dancer sweat, build stamina and really move. The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate the Countertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of changing components, working towards luscious movement combinations and jumping at the end.

The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using less energy, losing their fear of taking risks and gaining speed in movement.

**This class will be followed by a special "Lunchbox Discussion" exploring the theory and origin of the Countertechnique® (FREE for participants of the class).
