Emma Rasmussen

15.06 / 17.06 - Ballet

What to expect:
This ballet class will be offering exercises allowing you to work on your own technique,  with the freedom to explore range, dynamics, musicality and personal coordination.  Through imagery and anatomical cues, we will dive further in the practice of mindfully  moving, sweating and aligning the body.  

We will follow the structure of a traditional ballet class, starting with barre, followed by centre, ending the class with grand allegro to get the blood flowing and the energy  rising! I will be proposing different genres of music to support the expansion and  execution of each movement, as well as offering the space for interpretation of  musicality and accentuation.  

My goal is for you to leave the class feeling warm, energized and ready for whatever  your day offers!

22.06 / 24.06 - Contemporary

What to expect:

The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making the dancer sweat, build stamina and really move.

The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate the Countertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of changing components, working towards luscious movement combinations and jumping at the end.

The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using less energy, losing their fear of taking risks and gaining speed in changing direction.

Biography:

 I’m from Panama, and I became a Counter Technique teacher in the Netherlands in 2025 Now I work with the Tanzmainz dance company in Germany since 2023  I want to integrate Counter  Technique to open spaces between dancers and beyond.
