For our Autumn Half Term (4th November - 13th December) Professional Class is on a break!
In it’s place, we are delighted to be offering open level Gaga/people classes with with Matteo Marfoglia.*
*Please note that the class on the 19th November will not be taught by Matteo, and therefore will not be a Gaga class. It will still be an open level session, and will utilise improvisatory techniques.
Gaga/people classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve their flexibility and stamina, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.

Dynamic Floor
Dynamic Floor are intermediate-level floor work classes aiming to develop fluidity and movement rhythms. We will work on the coordination and physicality of movements to understand how to organise our bodies in order to enter and exit the floor. We will use our weight and momentum to move in an efficient-effortless way without disrupting the flow of movement.
7.15pm - 8.30pm
Partnerwork
Partnerwork will draw on elements of contact improvisation and contemporary partnerwork. There will be a combination of improvisational scores, playful exercises and technical training.
This class is ‘open level’ meaning that no matter your experience, whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been flying around people’s shoulders for years, this class will be suitable for you.
Thursday
The class will include traditional and non-traditional Pilates techniques. The aim for this class is after the 6 weeks students will gain the knowledge of the six principles of Pilates, and have improved posture and body coordination. They will be able to move through classes more freely and to feel their bodies have developed strength and flexibility.
