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.
The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using less energy, losing their fear of taking risks, and gaining speed in changing direction.
This class was co-hosted in partnership with Dance Ireland.
