Join the fascinating world of Gaga with Chen-Wei Lee, an award-winning dancer and choreographer, in a class that promises to transform your understanding of movement.
With her experience in the Batsheva Dance Company and collaborations with renowned figures such as Ohad Naharin, Chen-Wei guides you through an exploration of the Gaga language, where every movement is a discovery, and every sensation is a journey. Gaga/dancers deepens dancers’ awareness of physical sensations, expands their palette of available movement options, enhances their ability to modulate their energy and engage their explosive power, and enriches their movement quality with a wide range of textures. The classes are built on the same principles as Gaga/people classes but also employ the specific vocabulary and skills that are part and parcel of a dancer’s knowledge.
