Kojiro Imada’s contemporary dance training focuses on transporting the center of the body. Movements are thereby not defined by their outer form. Instead the center moves through the space along endless, circular paths, balanced out with the help of complex flows of energy. An important key to the work is analyzing existing habits in the body and freeing oneself from them.

The class begins with a warm-up/floor phrases and then develops into longer movement phrases, following a clear rhythm and musicality aimed at an efficient use of the space. Kojiro Imada is a trained GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® teacher. His class is strongly influenced by his knowledge of the GYROTONIC® technique.
