Corinne Mustonen’s course invites you to explore dance as embodied art – through dancing itself. Bodily art is perhaps the most delicate, vital and yearning of all artistic expressions. So, we dance.
Each week, you will be guided through a thoughtfully structured class. Sessions include gentle warm-ups, movement techniques and sequences, improvisation, moments of mutual admiration, shaking loose, and free play – all designed to awaken both body and mind, and to encourage natural expression.
The course adapts to the group’s needs, making it accessible to everyone. Exercises are done both individually and together.
We learn how to learn from one another and cherish each person’s unique movement style. The course structure supports us along the way, helping us to release tension, surrender to movement, and open mystical portals. In this course, we work with the body, not against it.
So, let’s dance!! Corinne will guide you with clear instructions, which you’re welcome to follow in whatever way best suits your preferences, physical condition, and ability. Expect to sweat – and let your thoughts flow. Guidance is available also in English and Swedish.
Corinne Mustonen is a contemporary artist who has been committed to dance in all its forms for over 15 years – and there’s no turning back. As a teacher, Corinne is attentive, gentle and encouraging. They love moving, thinking and creating worlds together.
