Public Moves: Release Technique
with Marta Coronado

Thu 31.07., 18.45h l MQ Forecourt l Free entry

Verticality and gravity, the head-neck connection as impulse for movement, awareness for alignment and the relation to the floor – all of these are essentials of the Release technique, that mainly helps to develop movement efficiency. This for sure is a speciality of the immensely likeable Rosas-dancer, who is co-directing the choreographic centre La Faktoria in Pamplona.

Public Moves dance classes take place outdoors every day – international and local instructors share their knowledge of everything from jazz and Bollywood dance to waacking in free outdoor classes. No previous experience is necessary, and all ages and levels are welcome!

Registration begins one day before the course starts at 11:00 a.m. via the calendar or by telephone on +43.1.523 55 58-19. If a class is ‘fully booked’, there is still the possibility of securing a remaining place on site. It's worth dropping by!
