The technical class in contemporary dance consists of the teaching material of the Limón technique and the principles of ballet. The dancer is called to develop a balance between strength and freedom, a relaxation of the ballistic weight in the movement, a clarity of impulse in his proprioceptive space and a relationship of intention to his stage space through form and look.
In this work process, technique is defined as the preparation of the body to a dynamic and creative state, and the appropriation of tools to physically articulate the artistic contribution of the performer according to his choices.
The course of the class begins with a warm-up on the ground followed by a class in the center, traditional progression, variation of bends, stretches, clearances, etc. leading to the big jumps.
