Countertechnique® 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 and jumping at the end. As a result, dancers will use less energy, lose their fear of taking risks, and gain speed in changing directions.
