Company classes are a great opportunity to work with the former, current and future sarAika members.
sarAika wants to give space to the artistry and knowledge of the artists that are contributing to the realization of this movement collective.

Floor-work focused class
Instructors: Sara Pizzi & Aika Takeshima
Description:
In this class, sarAika will share their discoveries and analysis of the use of the body through a warm-up that focuses on increasing the space of the joints while stretching. Followed by floor-work foundation and advanced exercises with some phrases. After that, sarAika will guide a dynamic and fluid floor-work based combination with musicality, and we end with guided improvisation focusing on floor-work letting the students use what they learn on that day so that they can bring what they learned to their own dance vocabulary.

Improvisation focused class
Instructors: Sara Pizzi & Aika Takeshima
Description:
How you, she, he, they and I behave when something sad happens are all different. That means each one’s improvisation should be different. Our improvisation class focuses on YOU, YOURSELF. You don’t have to follow a “sad movement” that is considered a “sad” in general. Do your own thing! But it has to be authentic.
Our focus is your authentic emotion into movements and finding new ways to move, new body parts you never used.
For example, try to move from your nose and chin. These should be different.
If you don’t find the difference, or you want to show it to us, this class is for you!

Dance for actors class
Instructors: Sara Pizzi & Aika Takeshima
Description:
-Amplify your voice in movements-
This class focuses on actors or those who do movement theater.
Differently from trained dancers, you might not have a lot of physical mobility yet.
BUT! You have an amazing ability to pull up your emotions!
The only thing you need is to get a bit more physical mobility and break down the emotions into movement.
We will guide you slowly with warmups that increase your physical ability(flexibiliy & strength). And we move forward to more movements, emotions and tips on how to make your movements look more professional.
You are welcomed to bring your own short story that you want to explore in movements.
