ABOUT THE INTENSIVE
2 days of movement, mentorship and grounded exploration.
Do you sometimes feel blocked when you want to integrate floorwork into your freestyle?
Do transitions to the floor feel bumpy or unsafe? You're not alone - that's exactly what this Intensive is for.
Floorwork Intensive
December 6-7, 2025 | Willisau (LU)
Learn how to integrate floorwork into your freestyle practice - whether you dance house, hip hop, contemporary or other styles. This intensive is aimed at dancers who mainly move standing up and want to deepen their connection to the floor in an intuitive and accessible way.
We start slowly and build up systematically: How do you get from top to bottom in a controlled and flowing manner? How can you develop movements on the floor without losing your bearings? And how do you expand your movement repertoire with elements from floorwork? You will be given specific tools that you can continue to work with at home.
The Intensive is organized by Raphaël Berkane and designed as a mentoring space. The group is deliberately kept small so that everyone can be seen, heard and individually supported - both technically and artistically. You will be given space to ask questions, research and develop yourself further.
For dancers with freestyle experience - regardless of style - who want to deepen their relationship with the floor.

The floor isn't a limit - it's an invitation. To fall, to flow, to find new ways of moving that begin where standing ends.
