BalletX is thrilled to announce a limited Open Class series led by our very own company dancers! For five weeks, January 26-March 1, dance into the new year with dynamic classes designed to challenge, inspire, and energize.
The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making dancers sweat, build stamina and really move. The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate theCountertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of varied components, working towards luscious movement combinations, and sometimes including jumping at the end. The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using more efficient energy, losing their fear of taking risks and gaining speed in both level and directional changes. This class is intended for dancers with existing dance training of any background, and is practiced in bare feet or socks.
