with Leonie Wahl

Mon 21.07., 18.45h l MQ Forecourt l Free entry

For Leonie, dancing means freedom of expression without aesthetic boundaries, strength and energy. In her class, she combines contemporary dance phrases with excerpts from her extensive repertoire of styles. Through improvisation, the participants will bring dynamics into their bodies in an efficient way.

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!
