In Jo Siska Tanzstudio’s words

Levels · O = Absolute Beginner · A = Beginner with previous experience · A+ = Advanced Beginner · B = Intermediate · C = Advanced Livia Politi's Modern Dance class combines technical precision with creativity in a relaxed and inspiring learning environment. The class develops coordination, strength, musicality, and body awareness while introducing the fundamental principles of modern dance through a clear anatomical understanding of movement. Classes include technical exercises, short movement sequences, travelling phrases, and flowing choreographic material. Dancers explore weight shifts, turns, jumps, falls, rolls, and floor work while developing greater ease, efficiency, and confidence in movement. Improvisation tasks encourage creativity and individual artistic expression. Livia's teaching draws on the traditions of the Jooss-Leeder Technique and is enriched by elements of Limón Technique, Release Technique, Weissmann Technique, and the Alexander Technique. Together, these approaches support healthy alignment, efficient movement, joint mobility, muscular coordination, and expressive musicality. A distinctive feature of the class is the integration of the Alexander Technique, which helps dancers release unnecessary tension, improve posture and breathing, and move with greater balance, freedom, and awareness. By encouraging natural movement patterns, it also supports injury prevention and allows dancers to expand their expressive range with greater ease. Suitable for dancers from Advanced Beginner (A+) to Intermediate (B), this class is also ideal for anyone interested in contemporary dance, movement research, dance theatre, yoga, or mindful movement practices.
