what do we do

who are the classes for

Utilizing the principles of contact improvisation and body-mind practices, Monica's teaching focuses on areas such as; awareness of the body's organisation and anatomy; connection to the floor, the space and partner's; and sensing the weight and the flow of the breath into the body. 


Confidence in receiving and giving (lifting, falling, momentum, suspension, weight, impetus) is built through suggested movement patterns and observing the singular expression of the body in motion

Testimonials



"Since I first started with Monica's dance improvisation classes, I have barely missed one. [..] everyone can be themselves or attempt to find themselves without any judgement. You look into yourself, explore your own moves, open up to the space and its stimuli, and compose your own dance with others.You end up discovering many engaging things that fill you with lots of joy, love, and happiness, and make you acknowledge and appreciate the power of movement and dance." 

Angeliki



Testimonials

"Monica’s Dance Improv class is a delightful end to the week! No steps to learn or routines to remember -  just an opportunity to move on my own or in partnership, explore my internal and external spaces, and let my creative juices loose. A great way to prepare for the weekend! Monica’s facilitation is gentle, respectful, and exciting, while holding the group in a warm and creative space. There is no other class like this in Edinburgh! "Susan
