Countertechnique®:

Countertechnique® provides tools for body and mind to deal with the demanding dance practice of the 21st century. It is a movement system to help the dancer understand the dancing body, focusing on the process of incorporating information into action.

The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making dancers sweat, build stamina and really move.

Countertechnique® is suitable for all dancers from 1st year Bachelor students to highly experienced professionals, working in all classical, modern and contemporary dance forms. The classes are always adapted in content and complexity to the participants’ technical level, as well as their previous experience with Countertechnique®.
