Playful Expression, Dance Theater, and Performance
Cissy Ball - Open Level
Cissy-sy is a playful fusion between the words 'sissy' and 'cis person'. It symbolizes that everyone is welcome: the Sissys, their friends, and everyone else!
Cissy Ball is a dance class for people who love to perform and go crazy with music, rather than learning a new dance technique and memorizing different steps and counts. It is a dance style with origins in dance theater tradition (Pina Bausch, Alain Platel, etc.), where you move from your personal inner joy to dance. Dance steps and choreography are created together through games, assignments, and simple instructions. It's a party for life and a perfect way to let loose.
Lesson after lesson, you improve your performance skills, dance technique, and learn to use your body from the inside. The dance lessons are a 1.5h workshop, and each lesson ends in a show moment.
What to wear & bring:
Please wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows you to move freely and express yourself. As this class involves elements of dance theater and floorwork, comfortable socks or bare feet are recommended. No street shoes of any kind are permitted in the studios. Don't forget to bring a water bottle and an open mind!
