“Gaga/people” classes are 60 minutes long, open to ages 16+ regardless of dance or movement experience. The teacher guides participants through a series of movement cues that are designed as an ongoing process. Instead of repeating someone else’s movement, the participant actively explores the tasks, discovering their own interpretations of the information and execution of the movement. GaGa/people classes offer a creative structure to get in touch with one’s body and imagination, enhance body awareness, improve flexibility and confidence, and experience the pleasure of movement in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.

Gaga is a movement language developed over many years by Ohad Naharin and used in the daily training and dance practice of Batsheva Dance Company (Tel Aviv). The language of Gaga is continually developed and deepened, based on the belief that movement has a healing, dynamic and ever-changing power.

Gaga raises awareness of one’s own physical weaknesses, awakens numb areas of the body, exposes physical fixations and offers ways to eliminate them. The work enhances instinctive movement and connects conscious and unconscious movement, and allows one to experience freedom and pleasure in a simple way, in a pleasant space, in comfortable clothing, with music, each in individual movement with others.
