Gaga/people: Free open class and lecture with Ohad Naharin

Gaga, a movement exercise developed by Ohad Naharin and used in daily training sessions by the dancers of Israel's Batsheva Dance Company and taught in dance academies around the world, is now being taught to dancers and non-dancers alike in New York City. Naharin also developed Gaga classes for people with no dance background. Gaga/people offers a one-hour long movement workout done in comfortable clothes. Gaga allows the user to discover agility, flexibility, strength, speed, efficiency, stamina, explosive power, groove, delicacy, the connection between pleasure and effort, and isolation and articulation of the joints. Gaga also fosters the awareness of weakness and atrophy and encourages the development of new movement habits.
