Our mission is simple: to make contemporary dance accessible to all adults, regardless of age or background. Our approach is a framework of consistent groups that go through a learning and training process over time which allows for in-depth, intimate group and personal work. Bona is more than just a dance school; It is a community that celebrates the inclusivity and passion for dance. We are expanding throughout Europe with highly professional teachers, we offer a unique combination of courses in contemporary and modern dance, improvisation, contact improvisation, alongside movement and somatic work.
Designed for beginners, the dance courses introduce the fundamentals in a supportive, non-judgmental space. It’s a place to explore, make mistakes, and leave each class feeling accomplished. You’ll start with the essentials: body awareness, spatial understanding, group dynamics, modern dance principles, posture, and musicality. As the course progresses, you’ll dive deeper into dance techniques, including floorwork and the balance between softness and strength.
