About masterclass:

Level: Intermediate. We will move from a base of reaching, falling and melting through the joints. We practice holding and letting go to the soft fall. We will fall together and practice how we can let ourselves be held. Falling to rolling, falling to sliding, falling to reaching and melting will guide us to dance.
