This two-hour workshop will dive into the Countertechnique toolbox, developed by Anouk van Dijk. Designed for intermediate and advanced dancers, it begins with a recurring series of exercises that invite participants to investigate Countertechnique principles in depth. The second half of class introduces shifting components, building toward expansive movement phrases and dynamic jumping combinations. Dancers can expect to use their energy more efficiently, lose their fear of taking risks, and gain speed and clarity in changing direction.
