Cecile Feza Bushidi will lead a modern class starting with an initial warm up based on the Horton Technique's fundamentals, the class will at first focus on energy flow, accuracy of the movement, engaging the whole body. The second part will be dedicated to a balanced use of this energy, dance and musicality.
This is the last session this week at The Studio Centre for the summer.
