Information

Start your day with movement at Studio ALTA dance classes. We have something for everyone: RISE & SHINE for joy and relaxation, whether you are a beginner or a first-time dancer, and FLOW & GLOW for those who want to further develop their dance skills.


RISE & SHINE – morning workouts for everyone

Start your Saturday with dance? Come and get moving at the morning training session at the Kotlaska Community Center, led by Sára Balabánová, a dance movement therapy instructor.

We’ll begin with a slow calming of the nervous system and gradually warm up the body. This will help integrate and connect everything that the body has accumulated over the past weeks. Gradually, we’ll transition from movement to dance, allowing us to release everything that no longer needs to be held. The community gathering will conclude with coffee, tea, and other treats brought by participants.

The event is open to everyone, regardless of age, mobility, or experience. All you need is the desire to move and enjoy the joy of dance and music. Come stretch and kick off your weekend with a solid dose of dance energy!

FLOW & GLOW – professional trainings

Treat Yourself to an Intense Dance Training!
FLOW & GLOW are classes designed for dancers and other professionals in the field of movement arts and related disciplines. Led by experienced instructors, these sessions provide space to refine technical skills and develop movement expression through guided improvisation. Gain new inspiration for your movement and artistic expression!

WHO WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE TRAINING?

🌟

Mish Rais and Jana Novorytová

Mish and Jana work together at the Department of Authorial Creation and Pedagogy at DAMU, where they teach movement disciplines. They are both engaged in research, study, promotion, and creation in the field of instant composition – dance improvisation. In the morning training, they will introduce concepts they explore in their practice: body weather, dynamic rhythmic patterns that enhance the right and left hemispheres, coordination, and rhythm. The next part of the session will focus on their approach to instant composition – dance improvisation. The class will be dynamic, technical, and creative.

🌟

Tomáš Janypka

In February 2023, Tomáš completed a two-year study program in Somatik Diyalog® Facilitator under the guidance of Berrak Yedek. He is gradually developing this approach not only in performative contexts but also in educational practice, focusing on personal practices that improve our relationship with our bodies, support well-being, enhance creativity, and foster a more mindful connection with everyday reality. Within FLOW & GLOW, he will lead a morning somatic improvisation training.

🌟

Jitka Sara Páníková

The training is inspired by traditional Chinese techniques that Jitka mastered during her stay in China and her studies in contemporary and Chinese technique fusion at Peridance Capezio Center in New York. Thanks to these experiences, the focus will primarily be on flow/flux – the body’s ability to respond fluidly to external stimuli and create new movement connections. Through movement principles of floorwork and improvisation, we will explore the body’s intuitive intelligence. We will examine movement patterns, create new ones, and release ingrained habits. This process will allow us to better understand our daily experiences and transform them into creative inspiration.
