The protected space for your free solo training
Training within your own four walls offers invaluable intimacy. Without being observed by others, you can focus entirely on your body awareness and break through movement patterns. To make the best use of the influence of gravity in dance, you should clear a space of at least two by two meters. A smooth floor, where you can glide barefoot or in socks, is ideal. Suitable clothing, like what you wear in the studio, helps you mentally switch from everyday life into training mode. If you are unsure which style suits you best, take a look at our guide on Contemporary Dance clothing.
From everyday room to creative dance floor
Consciously make use of the conditions in your apartment. Walls, room corners, or the edges of furniture do not have to be obstacles. In improvisation, they serve as physical reference points that you can push off from, lean against, or glide along. Begin every solo session by briefly arriving in a standing position, allowing your breath to flow and directing your focus entirely to your own body.
