Secrets of our dance, Alexandra Soshnikova
and Sergey Golovnya


Alexandra Soshnikova <br> and Sergey Golovnya


About masterclass: Each CI couple has its own secrets and tricks in their dance that we would like not to mix with patterns. In this case we consider and use them as a “foothold”, “reference point”, that we can start from… or then refuse… and then come back to, comparing what is happening and using it to develop our own dance.
The dance is spontaneous, but it is still based on some principles that make it safe, but at the same time makes our body more confident, more courageous, gives more freedom.
Physical principles we discover through images, and images are born through physical interaction between partners.
How it is going to happen is for now a secret. But we would be happy to share it with you!

About Sasha & Sereja: Cooperation between A. Soshnikova and S. Golovnya started in 1997, in a modern dance group “Voices”, under the direction of Angela Doniy.
