Class description 
The class will research flow, concepts, moves and sequences that are created when our bodies are grounded in the floor. We will be playing with being upside down, letting momentum move us, and find new ways to use our the strength and mobility of our unique bodies. In class there will be a warm-up, exercises and sequences across the floor, playing with bringing concepts into movements, improvisation and sequence.

Experience required for the participants 
All Levels

Goals for participants 
Number one: I want the students to feel more comfortable with grounded movements. Using arm and center strength to move smoothly close to ground. I want them to work on their understanding of momentum. Basic goal: I want the student to feel like they get new vocabulary to their own movement practices. Higher goal: They can use the toels I give in their own creative reserch process as movers and humans in other situations than my class. Even higher goal: They trust their own abilities and strength more after class. Highest goal: They feel empowered by their own movement and mind results in class.

Goals for teacher 
Connecting! Sharing enthusiams for movement by (hopefully) curiosity and villingness to try something different.

About Laura
Full freedom for me is moving in all ways possible through the human body, upside down and around, the body has infite sustainable inspiration and potential. My own movement background starts in yoga as a child, went into different street dance styles as a teenager, more classical contemporary and modern later on also capoeira. Knowing many different interpretations of movement quality helps me create my own movement blueprint.
