Finding moments of freedom

In my dance teaching I wish to create spaces where we can together sharpen our tools for finding moments of freedom, togetherness and self expression. I believe that the easiest way there is with a soft and warm environment, both inner and outer environment. Therefore a big part of my work is to soften the inner critique, to allow the body to move as we would if we had never learned that there was a less correct way to express oneself, as we would if we were free.
