COMPANY CLASSES
AboutMichael Loehr's company classes are very much adaptable to the company's artistic profile and consequently to the dancers' needs. First and foremost designed to physiologically and psychologically prepare the dancers for a full day of rehearsals or performances, Michael's warm up is intended to quite literally raise the body temperature in order to facilitate the flow of oxygen, to improve the efficiency of muscle contraction and to soften the dancers' bodies in order to free their articulation and prevent injuries.
Stylistically in line with his open classes and his focus on functionality, Michael proposes different additional blocks concentrating on contemporary technique and floorwork, choreographic work or improvisational exercises depending on what is most beneficial in the given context. The general idea is to stimulate and challenge the dancers' bodies and brains without exhausting them before their working day even starts, allowing them to progressively enhance their capabilities in the long term.
