COURSE LEADER ANETA ZWEIRZYNSKA
“Aneta’s class was a joy. Her enthusiasm and commitment spilled over to us. The classes were extremely well planned and appropriate to our abilities, we grew from week to week . I learned so much about the body and how we move . She is a very special teacher” - previous TSD Creative Class participant
Aneta's classes are a culmination of 18 years worth of research into exchanging ideas between capoeira and contemporary dance. These organic forms of movement have at their centre a focus on nature, creativity, and improvisation, as well as an emphasis on spiral dynamics and the connection between body, mind and spirit.
“In these classes we will investigate ways to incorporate the total physical awareness necessary in capoeira, whose roots partly lie in the art of fighting, into the more meditative world of release technique. Through capoeira, we will open more opportunities for self-expression within the medium of contemporary dance - using the quality and philosophy behind the movements as inspiration, without direct imitation. This poetic playfulness and animalistic physicality will provide a new and exciting dimension for dancers to explore.”
WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 12:30 – 2:30 PM (2 HOURS)
DATES: 16 SEPTEMBER - 21 OCTOBER 2026 (6 WEEKS)
FOR PEOPLE AGES 55+. ALL ABILITIES AND LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE WELCOME.
