Openstage 2023 Kursperformance choreografiert von Christoph Viol. Video: Nik Goetz

BASIS PROGRAM * 6 MONTH

In addition to our 10-month dance training, the Dance Program, we offer a 6-month part-time intensive dance course.

The Basic Program is for people who want to integrate dance more strongly into their lives – alongside their job or studies – and who want to engage more with their body and their personal dance strength.

It is designed for people who simply enjoy dance as well as for already active performance artists from other areas of the performing arts. The Basic Program can also be an introduction to the large field of body therapy/bodywork or an extension to training in this area.

Previous experience in dance and movement is always helpful, but unlike our 10-month Dance Program, it is not required. Classes take place two days a week in closed groups and you also have access to the entire weekly motion* schedule.

Like the Dance Program, the variety of styles in the Basic Program covers the spectrum from urban dance to contemporary dance. Hip hop, afro, contemporary, jazz, healthy ballet, alignment, tribal fusion, contact improv, freestyle and improvisation techniques are included.

For dancers who would like to pursue a career as a professional dancer, the Dance Program is available as preparation for studies, for example.

DURATION AND START

The Basis Program lasts 6 months and runs from September 2024 to February 2025.
Training will start on Monday, 02.09.2024.

Training in closed group
You can expect closed group lessons on two days and access to motion*’s entire weekly schedule. This means at least 52 teaching units for the closed group. The closed group lessons take place either on Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Friday between 11 am and 5 pm.

Lessons are held in English and German.

 

Evening Classes
In addition, at least 4 motion*s classes per week should be attended, preferably more. Up to 7 open classes per week are included in the price for the participants of the Basic Program for the 6 months in all courses of the motion*s dance and movement studio. (For the duration of the program).
