Intro to Hand Balancing and Contortion

Contortion is an old circus discipline. It is an art form of finding comfort in presumed uncomfortable places while expanding the limits of the human body’s capabilities.
 
This two hour class is split in two hours: The first hour you will be introduced to the idea of hand balancing, using your upper body for stability and lower body for mobility. You will learn drills that will help you to build a strong handstand and provide overall body conditioning. All of the exercises will be developed depending on the individual level. Exercises progress over the three sessions.

During the second hour, you will explore the mobility in your hip joints and spine, working on your leg and back flexibility. In conjunction with the stretching exercises, conditioning drills will be provided that help to develop the body's new found range of motion.

Anastasia Evsigneeva and Anna Protsiou are graduates from the Professional Program of The School of Contemporary Dancers (Winnipeg). Their current creative practice includes contemporary dance and intensive circus training including, but not limited to, contortion, aerial hoop, partnering, and acrobatics. Originally from Russia, Anastasia has been exploring teaching practices since 2010, and has taught different dance styles to all ages. Anastasia has been training in contortion and hand balancing for 7.5 years.  Anastasia loves to experiment by combining contemporary dance styles with contortion and acrobatics, finding multidisciplinary art very inspiring. Hailing from Greece, Anna began training in ballet at a young age before switching to contemporary dance. Anna began training in circus arts 5 years ago when she fell in love with contortion. Since then she has been both performing and teaching dance and flexibility for different levels. Anna is devoted to her art and has turned most of her hobbies into a profession.
