I focus on the tool of exploration to bring out the uniqueness of each body, as I am fascinated and inspired by its original intelligence. By accessing this current, we can open up new possibilities and creative spaces within our mind and body.
Sprouting Roots
This workshop combines folk dance and contemporary improvisation. The inspiration is drawn from traditional steps and motifs, which are playfully extended into contemporary structures and improvisations. The workshop is inclusive and sensitive to cultural diversity, all participants are encouraged to connect and relate to their own roots and, by sharing the different folkloric knowledge with each other, our movement language is also enriched while we find our common grounds. We expand our creative space by cultivating the ancestral roots and bringing those rhythms and movements into the physicality of contemporary and contact dance.

Shape Shifting
During this workshop the body is subjected to intense isolation work and, through experimentation with weight and attention shifts, she observes the threshold of efficiency when moving the body in space. In her technique, the pelvis and the “elastic” spine play a fundamental role as engines of initiation. Viktoria works with precise images and references to help dancers understand the qualities of movement, activating both the creative mind and the physical body. This training also integrates somatic and neurological exercises that enrich the dance experience.

Mindful Movement
This class allows to experience a different approach to moving and dancing. You will be given tools to release stress while widening the movement possibilities of the body from a different mindset, through meditative movement. This class is built around breathwork as well as some elements of DMT (Dance and Movement Therapy).
The classes were available online during the first lockdown on dancingalonetogether.org in 2020
