Eef’s classes are based on imagination, total body awareness and respect. Imagination will help you to experience fully a guided improvisation with lots of techniques and qualities. Based on total body awareness we will dive in flow, groove and rhythm. A movement phrase will be part of the classes, where we will embrace our ‘new’ experiences for growth. Eef’s movement style is influenced by choreographers she worked with. Above all, the classes will be enriched with joy and togetherness.
