Class description:
IN CLASS Gaga classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve flexibility and stamina, exercise agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere. Evocative, layered instructions amplify sensation and awareness, creating a multi-sensory, physically challenging experience grounded in a specific process of embodiment. The improvisational nature of the practice enables each participant’s deeply personal connection with Gaga.
Gaga/dancers deepens dancers’ physical awareness, expands their movement palette, enhances energy modulation and explosive power, and enriches movement quality with a wide range of textures. Built on the same principles as Gaga classes, Gaga/dancers also employs the vocabulary and skills intrinsic to dancers, layering familiar technique with Gaga tasks to prompt exploration of unfamiliar movement, connect effort to pleasure, and discover the virtue of silliness.
