CLASS DESCRIPTION
These classes offer a personal pedagogical approach to dance, shaped by tools and
principles that have revealed themselves as essential throughout my artistic journey. They
combine improvisation and technical work as complementary pathways into movement
research.
Improvisation serves to sharpen attention, deepen proprioception, and center each dancer’s
embodied experience as the core of the learning process. Alongside this, the practice
includes pre-structured movement patterns and coordination exercises that support
anatomical awareness and physical clarity.
We move between imagination and anatomy, center and expansion, strength and fluidity,
play and presence—cultivating a curious and receptive state. The technical work, grounded
in repetition and phrase material, aims to develop strength, flexibility, and precision, but
always in service of poetic expression and creative freedom.
The class culminates in the learning of a movement phrase that integrates the material
explored throughout the sessionAltogether, this space supports the development of a
rigorous yet sensitive body, and nurtures each participant’s artistic voice.
BIO
Neus Montané is a dancer, performer, dance teacher and therapist based between Berlin
and Barcelona. After graduating from the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona and continuing her
contemporary dance training in various centers in Barcelona and Berlin, she has had the
pleasure of collaborating and working with different choreographers, mainly in Germany and
the Czech Republic. She is currently working with the company Sasha Waltz and Guests,
continues to develop her own creations, and collaborates with artists and collectives from
various disciplines. She divides her time between creating, performing, and teaching.
Her work spans dance, performance, and therapeutic practices, with a focus on movement
as a form of expression, connection, and transformation. Deeply interested in the social
aspects of performing arts, she is particularly drawn to their capacity to foster a sense of
community. She regularly teaches contemporary dance and improvisation classes and
workshops, aiming to create spaces where dance becomes a tool for communication,
inclusion, and shared growth.
