CLASS DESCRIPTION: 

In Dynamic Phrasing we enter into dialogue with our own body by nourishing the diversity inherent in our nature and harnessing the power of gravity. This dialogue is enhanced by rigorous and multidimensional exercises and a deep passion for movement. Dynamic Phrasing is a journey that takes us to the limits of our body's capacity to reveal the roots and core of our being. Dynamic Phrasing was initiated 15 years ago by Maciej Kuźmiński and is the choreographers’ main tool for creation and communicating with his dancers. The method comprises complimentary 5 Pillars: I – the Loop, II – movement research, III – phrases & repertoire, IV – floor work, V – Task Basket re-composition. Dynamic Phrasing strengthens dancers' versatility, developing a broad dance language, based on various shades and rhythms, as well as introducing a powerful and flowing movement capacity.
