CLASS DESCRIPTION

Let's find the most efficient way of performing a demanding movement sequence. By analyzing the movement itself, the physical forces, and the anatomical characteristics of our bodies, we will explore ways to maximize our performance by combining the given possibilities and have them work to our advantage. We will use the force of gravity to ground us, to support us, to allow us to take risks and to push our limits, in order to finally escape gravity. By utilizing our potential to the highest degree, we will evolve and discover new facets of ourselves.
