useful information

Thanks to our introductions and warm-ups, our dance events are also suitable for newcomers and beginners.
For the most part, people come again and again to the regular appointments. Despite their advanced experience, they keep getting new impulses. Improvisation opens up an ever new and creative dance field to everyone with different experiences.

"Free dance"

For us, dancing freely starts with the missing dress code. You can wear the clothes that appear comfortable to you. For optimal contact with the floor, people usually dance barefoot. Dancing freely means dancing the way you like it. Without special dance forms and standards - free from expectations regarding beautiful or performance-oriented dancing. Compared to discos, in which seeing and being seen can play a role, and sometimes standing around on the dance floor is common, this is about your own liberated and liberating dancing.

"Dance Improvisation"
Here the free dancing is supplemented with the creative and conscious act of dance design. You try out new movements in space and time - for yourself or / and in contact with one or more co-workers. This often creates non-verbal stories or small scenes and your feelings can be expressed in this way.

"Contact Improvisation" (CI)
This type of dance was originally developed in the 1970s by a group of dancers in New York. In addition to exploring movements, such as preferably moving your own center of body smoothly via the "rolling point", it contains a strong social component in interaction with others. It is a non-verbal, mutual feeling. To date, a worldwide community of Contact Impro dancers has developed.
(See also information on wiki etc.)
With our offers, the focus is less on CI techniques, which can sometimes take on acrobatic expression, than on the psychological contact via touch in dance. We see the term "contact" in its original meaning - there are many ways you can be physically close to other people, experience yourself and be touched.

"Wave"
In a so-called wave, the participants dance to music, the individual pieces of music are dynamically arranged. It starts with very slow and quiet music that is getting faster and more rhythmic - like a wave, at the high point of which the most violent dance is performed, before sliding back down into the wave valley. Towards the end the music becomes more and more calm until the dance ends in silence.
The clear wave-like music sequence supports you in living out your versatile emotional dance.
