~The heartbeat in our body creates our own tempo and at the same time our breath creates rhythmic values and dynamics on top of that tempo.~
The class focuses on the musicality and teaches us the ways to be aware on how to develop our body’s rhythm and dynamics, concerning it as an instrument by using improvisational tools inspired from the theory of music.
