Detta är ett nytt koncept för dig som vill dansa och är cancerberörd, men inte vill boka in dig på en hel kurs. Vi erbjuder nu en 2-dagars workshop på Balettakademien med Joakim Stephenson där han leder en 60 min dansklass per dag. Fredag och lördag.
Dansen utvecklar hjärnan och kroppens motorik, bygger självförtroende och livsglädje. Här finns möjlighet att mötas i ett lugnt tempo med all den glädje, rytm, smidighet och utmaning som dansen ger! Vi arbetar mycket med fantasi, kreativitet, eget uttryck och glädje i kompination med balans, rytm, dynamik och koordination. Välkommen in i dansens värld.
Joakim är bl.a. utbildad i metoden Dans för Parkinson.
