Rosas

Ready to dance?

This season, Rosas is launching a brand-new series of dance courses for adults (18+). Whether you're a complete beginner or simply looking to reconnect with your body, you're warmly welcome. No prior experience is needed — our experienced instructors will guide you every step of the way, helping you explore movement, express yourself, and enjoy the joy of dancing.

Kinesthetic Dance with Marita Schwanke

Reconnect to your body through dance

This course invites you to learn about the human body and use this awareness in dancing. You will discover different body/anatomical systems such as skeletal, organ, blood, endocrine etc. and their interconnectedness. These learnings will be immediately put in practice through touch, imagination exercises, use of voice, dance improvisation and contact dancing. We will explore the body in movement through concepts such as spaciousness, openings, omni-directionality, letting go, balancing, weight, breath, and availability.
By attending this course, you can improve your alignment, which will let you feel more freedom, ease and safety in your movement. You will also learn to connect to your surroundings and other people through dance, respecting each other’s boundaries.

Marita Schwanke is a dancer and a maker based in Brussels. She studied dance and choreography at ArtEZ, Arnhem and at P.A.R.T.S., Brussels. As a somatic practitioner and an artist, she is trained in Fascia & Dance therapy, Qigong/Taiji and tries to explore the use of imagination inspired by mindful movement practices such as Alexander Technique, Ideokinesis and Body-Mind Centering.

Contemporary Dance with Lise Vachon

Discover a range of contemporary dance practices in an open and welcoming environment. Each class of this course begins with simple, guided warm-up exercises to awaken the body, enhance joint mobility, and build awareness. With the support of music and breath, we’ll energize, align, and find fluidity in our movement. Gradually, we’ll travel through space and explore short movement sequences inspired by various choreographic techniques. Using creative tools, we’ll play with rhythm, space, and time, opening the senses to a wide spectrum of contemporary dance vocabularies. These classes are open to everyone. No prior dance experience needed. Come as you are and enjoy moving to a rich and diverse musical landscape.

Lise Vachon is a Canadian-born contemporary dance artist based in Belgium. A graduate of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre and P.A.R.T.S., she has performed and worked with choreographers such as Arco Renz, Michèle Noiret, Dominique Duszynski, Marc Vanrunxt, and Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. As a choreographer, she has created and toured her own work internationally. Lise teaches at P.A.R.T.S., where she is a pedagogical coordinator and tutor, and at Dancingkids at Rosas.
