JENNY MAJOR is a Copenhagen based versatile dancer/teacher/choreographer. My main goal is to create art that people can relate to and connect through. To build bridges, encourage learning and integrity. In my every day life I am recident choreographer with Metropolis.dk, giving workshops and collaborate with the performance artists in the premacies as well as teaching jazz and contemporary in the community. I’ve been fortunate to give workshops internationally - lately in Mocambique, but also in USA, Argentina, Cuba and Palestine. Born and raised in Sweden I’m very happy to have the opportunity to teach at DCV and DCS.

IN CLASS I try to give the dancers a well rounded workout as well as feeding the artistery and joy of dance. I aim to keep the focus on flow and musicality through a set of choreographed excercises covering technical aspects, stretch and strenght. I want the dancer to leave the class feeling well placed, ready to work, uplifted and seen. I follow a plan but try to also give time to the needs of the particular group on the particular day. The phrase at the end can be in various styles, from musical theatre jazz to lyrical, street or classic. Depending on attendance we can build on the same combination or do different every class.

CONTEMPORARY
Tisdag-Fredag 9-10.30, Ärlegården

ANNA OZERSKAIA is born and raised in St Petersburg (Russia). At the age of 25 I moved away, first to Israel, to work with Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company and then to Sweden. I worked in Skånes Dansteater at first, but for the last 10 years I am dancing in Gothenburg Opera’s Dance Company, collaborating with lots of known choreographers and inspiring artists. While dancing in a big company, my interest was always in creative aspect. I choreograph, guide laboratories and work with movement on and off stage. Through out all my professional experience, I was always engaged pedagogically, sharing my knowledge with grown ups and kids, professionals and amateurs, I gave countless amount of work-shops in many countries for dance festivals, schools, performing arts institutions, theatres and dance companies.

IN CLASS I propose a floor work, phrase based class. Starting with a softening, we focus on listening to the body and loosening it, switching on observing mind. Following phrases are built around some principals, allowing to work with the floor in a safe and organic way, steadily increasing centre and muscle engagement and dynamic.Being inspired by few different methodics, I build my class with lots of attention to the basic principals, softness and efficiency. Giving to it my own creative artistic vision I hope every dancer after my class would get some useful technical tools.

JOHANNA ABENIUS är utbildad på Stockholm musikalartist utbildning, Base23.
Hon har sedan examen 2015 arbetat som dansare och musikalartist på några av Sveriges största scener så som Oscarsteatern, Chinateatern, Göta Lejon, Göteborgs stadsteater, Rondo, Göteborgsoperan mfl.
Hon har även sjungit och dansat på arenor i Melodifestivalen.
I höst kommer hon tillbaka till Göteborgoperans stora scen i musikalen WICKED.

IN CLASS Mina klasser genomsyras av mycket energi och högt tempo där jag pendlar mellan stilarna showjazz och kommersiell jazz. Jag älskar att utmana för att utveckla dynamik och explosivitet. Klassen inleds teknikbaserat för att jobba upp den stabilitet och styrka som behövs, och följer sedan upp med klassiska jazzdiagonaler där vi tränar upp tekniken för snurrar, hopp och linjer. Avslutningsvis tränar vi koreografier där det gärna är jazzigt, showigt och explosivt!

BALETT
Tisdag-Fredag 13.30-15, Ärlegården

MIN LI trained with traditional Chinese dance, joined National ballet of China. Went to America to study contemporary dance, then Joined Batsheva Ensemble; after, came to The Netherlands to dance and choreograph with Scapino Ballet Rotterdam. After all these experiences, Min wants to share this knowledge and understanding of dance with people.

IN CLASS Finding the connection between the body and mind is essential for his class. In either ballet or contemporary class, he would like to motivate the participants to stay curious and keep discovering the possibilities of the physicality and the sensation; finding the relationship between discipline and freedom, developing the personal interpretation of the movement, having an open mind to try and feel. Joy and the passion to move are very important, dance should be fun, not the mechanic routine of practice. Min has been guest teaching in Nederlands dans theater, Gothenburg opera dance company, Akram khan company, Scapino ballet, Skanes Dansteater, Norrdans, AHK amsterdam, Carte Blanche and more….

IN CLASS This week we are getting back into the VIBE - rediscovering our relationship to the music and how it influences and helps define our technique. Whether we are training technique fundamentals, across the floor combinations, or choreography, without the music we are just doing steps, and where is the fun [dance] in that?! Everything line, position, accent, dynamic, feeling, emotion is all in the music. Come and get back to the pulse of your dance practice and ex*****on. It's a VIBE...!
