In HOUR 1, the class will focus on progressive technique of "classical ballet" and "modern contemporary" dances.

Classical training of ballet and contemporary dance is imperative for anyone who desires to take their dancing to the next level. Ballet is the basic foundation for most forms of dance. Whatever you learn in ballet, it translates to values that can be used to pursue other forms of dance. The alignment and musicality it requires are only some examples of important qualities in most dance styles. It has countless benefits, including that of (i) developing of discipline and dedication, (ii) improving posture, (iii) improving balance and flexibility, (iv) improving agility, (v) improving confidence, and many more benefits.

Contemporary dance is a free form type of a modern dance, which helps develop creativity and creative thinking, it focuses on self-expression as opposed to rigid technique, it teaches and encourages dancers to access their emotions and express them, translating them into physical motions. This gives a sense of empowerment to any dancer

In HOUR 2, Dorota will focus on preparing and strengthening your bodies for the impact and strain of the dance we all love to practice so much - whether socially or more seriously (this will also help you tone your bodies), on stretching for those splits, deep lunges, backbends etc you have always wanted to be able to do.

Dorota is a beautiful classical and modern ballet and contemporary dancer, who studied at Krakow Ballet School, Anton Bruckner University in Linz, Budapest Dance Theatre and London where we are so lucky to have her currently live and work. She has worked with Art Colour Ballet COmpany in Poland, Budapest Dance Theatre in Hungary, Chrysalis Dance Company in London and currently with Ballet Soul Company. Most recently, she has been training for the Othello 21 production by Ballet Soul Company.

Dorota is an amazing teacher who is very much interested and so knowledgable about our bodies, and how different parts of it interact and impact each other. It is a treat to be in one of her classes, and I am so excited for our cooperation.

Empowress offers events, talks, experiences & projects for the London dancers to learn, be inspired & grow by top women in DANCE by empowering one another!
