✨MENTAL TRAINING✨

Often as dancers we are told to warm up, take classes, stretch and eat well. But how often are we told to practise mindfulness, goal-setting or visualisation?

At MDI we have a speaker every week for 6 weeks starting from 6pm tonight to focus on different aspects of well-being and mental skills for dancers🤍

This is an online series where you can listen in, share experiences & ask questions and free to attend!🙌

To book on: www.mdi.org.uk > events > artist mental skills & wellbeing > eventbrite link ✨

Questions? DM us or email manisha@mdi.org.uk☺️

Lisi Perry has over 30 years experience as a dancer , choreographer and director.
She has received numerous commissions and grants to produce her own work as an independent choreographer and with COLLISION.

She is currently a lecturer at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, teaching Dance and Movement with the Dance, Applied Theatre and Community Drama and Acting departments.

Class description:
This trio of classes will begin with a released based technique, focusing on physics and how the body naturally moves, using the benefits of the fold in the body. It will aim to play with locating useful breath and the mechanics of the ‘natural fall’ and what ‘catching the fall’ can offer.

Classes will then explore how, where and when the world of performance and technique meet. Practicing being seen and observing others, asking questions and exploring the usefulness and benefits of ‘’how we are being seen’’ when moving.

✨Q&A SERIES✨

BEGINNERS BALLET

Starts Thursday 16th September
7:15pm - 8:15pm | £6 / £5 concs

Beginners Ballet is ideal for those who have never danced before, or have a small amount of experience. The class focuses on learning basic classical ballet technique, including correct posture, positioning of the feet and arms, and developing muscle strength and flexibility.

The class starts with exercises on the barre focusing on alignment and developing muscle strength. An easy stretch then moves us onto centre work (in the middle of the studio, away from the barre), focusing on control, balance and travelling steps.

Taught at a basic level, this class teaches beginners’ technique to prepare you to move onto the open level class when you’re feeling ready.
