WHAT IS IT: Ways to Begin are dance classes. Each class is based on the principles and techniques of Skinner Releasing Technique. This transformative dance technique can be also considered as a contemplative meditation in movement. Introducing very specific practices in every class, we’ll discover how much is possible in our perception, in our dance, in our environment. I am looking forward to work this enriching experience with you. The group classes which I was longing for some time, will start with small groups. The classes are held in English

HOW IS IT: There is no preparation for these classes. You start from wherever you are that day, that moment. What you need is comfy and warm clothes and a bottle of water.

WHERE IS IT: The classes are at Initiative for Healing Arts, Bethanien Südflügel, Mariannenplatz 2a, Kreuzberg -unless otherwise is mentioned. Check the calendar here. If you cannot see the calendar, or you need more information please contact us. Let us know in advance if you can’t make it to the class you booked.

WHEN IS IT: Planned for Saturdays. Arrival 10:00-10:30 Class starts at 10:30 Ends at 13:30 The classes will be in a time frame of 3 hours.

PRICING: 35EU. Until August 2024 pay what you can (PWYC): 15EU-25EU-35EU.

My education and practice in dance is cultivated by a variety of dance techniques within Western dance tradition. Since 1997 I am informed by a wide range of somatic practices from Feldenkreis to Authentic Movement, from Body Mind Centering to Alexander to mention a few, including Pilates (fully certified from Merithew/Stott, 2008), Shiatsu (licenced practioner from ESI, 2022) and Skinner Releasing Technique (certified from Skinner Releasing Institute, 2024). Having given a pause to my teaching practice in dance, I am glad that I’m starting teaching again this powerful technique which allows me to grow as a teacher as it allows us to grow together, free, resilient and responsible.
