Moderno is a contemporary dance form. In modern dance, the main goal is to convey emotions and meaning to the audience.
The fundamental principles of modern dance include rejecting canons, embodying new themes and plots through original dance and movement techniques.
Moderno can be summarized as focusing not only on body movements, but also on the sensations that arise during the dance, and on the emotional state.
It is sometimes called a dance for the mind, a philosophical dance. The goal of moderno is harmony in the body, soul, and mind, as well as between these three components.
In our classes, we study dance elements, in the center, on the floor, we analyze hand and foot positions, do partner exercises, work on choreographing pieces, and train imagination and fantasy, encouraging students to bring their own movements and ideas.
