MYRTO GRAPSA

RELEASE TECHNIQUE

The dance practice I will be teaching is based dynamism, release and performativity. Simple exercises will warm up the body and prepare you for dancing a fast-pace and dynamic class. I will be focusing the class on articulation, release and engagement of muscles and performativity.

Myrto will be teaching as part of the first module in Athens during March 2021.
