Tango EXTRAVAGANZA

This method emphasizes self-education to improve how the body moves and functions. By enhancing body awareness and attention, it stimulates neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to create new neural pathways for optimal movement and function. Neuroplasticity underlies all learning and contributes to better balance, breathing, coordination, flexibility, cognition, and outlook. This capacity for renewal and growth in the brain, although most pronounced in children, continues in adults and can be activated through precise, mindful movements.

For dancers, the Feldenkrais Method offers a unique way to refine their movement. By slowing down and focusing on sensations and slow movements, dancers engage different parts of their brain and identify unconscious habits of overexertion that may hinder their performance. This mindful approach allows dancers to better sense their skeletal structure and improve their self-image mapping in the brain, leading to more efficient and expressive use of their bodies. By learning to rely on their skeletal architecture for support, dancers free their muscles to perform according to the demands of their choreography, enhancing their overall movement quality and artistic expression.
