the world out there.”

DANCEHALL

The rebolado is the high point of this dance of Jamaican origin that aims to sharpen sensuality. “It was created by women and for a long time only they could practice it,” he says. Joceline Gomes, teacher at the Backstage Dance Center in Brasília. Even when men were allowed to participate, the dominance remained female, since their role is supporting in choreographies marked by seductive attitudes. The girl power motto is strictly followed. ”Dancehall is contemporary with sexual liberation struggles. Through dance, the woman reaffirms her power over her own body”, completes Joceline.

BALLET FLY JUMP

The combination of acrobatic jumps and turns adds an extra dose of emotion to classic ballet steps. The students practice all the activity in a climbing chair, supported by a bungee jump rope. “This forces us to work even more on the strength of the legs, while the arms design the movements”, explains the teacher. Leticia Marchetto, from Sao Paulo. Although exercises with support are becoming popular around the world, it was Letícia who created this version, associated with ballet. Extra advantage: “The rope also helps to nullify any impact on the knees, making it possible for those who need this care to practice”, she points out.

KRUMP

It can be a creative solution. to send away feelings of anger or frustration. The idea here is for everyone to improvise their choreography with the swings and steps learned in class. ”In krump, the whole body is involved. We look at the action of the arms as the representation of a dialogue”, says the professor Vinicius Azevedo, from the Westside Full gym, in São Paulo. While working on strength and dynamism, practitioners embody characters with the aim of guiding and differentiating themselves from one another. Perfect alternative to exercise mind and body control at the same time.

FEMME FUSION

At a time when styles that exalt femininity are on the rise, the ballerina Tati Sanchis, director of Casa da Dança, in São Paulo, decided to bring together several of them in what she called femme fusion. “We put together the most delicate movements that put women at the forefront, like those in vogue, which focus on well-marked arms,” she explains. The important thing is to play with expressiveness, always emphasizing the subtlety and sensuality of female gestures. “We also use stiletto techniques, a modality that helps with body awareness”, completes Tati, referring to the dance class done with the use of high-heeled shoes.

HOUSE DANCE

Unlike other urban modalities, house dance does not foresee competitions. ”The main objective is the exchange between practitioners”, says victor alves, director of Espaço Laia, in Belo Horizonte. There’s no shortage of positive vibes. ”The lyrics of the songs talk about good feelings, like love and happiness.” It is, therefore, a great option for those looking for a lighter day-to-day life and to relieve stress. As the torso moves (as if a wave were passing through it), the feet follow the shoulders. The subtlety of the movements creates the impression that the dancers are floating. Lessons are not formatted. ”The idea is to give each person the tools to create their choreography.”

HIIDANCE

This is the only activity where the main purpose is to burn calories. ”As people have less and less time, we created a short and effective lesson on weight loss and improving physical fitness”, says Luiza Continentino, artistic director of Espaço Vibre, in Rio de Janeiro. The steps vary according to the teacher, it could be jazz or street dancing, but what defines hiidance is the alternation of intensity over the 45 minutes of class. Sometimes it’s 40 seconds of maximum effort followed by a minute and a half of moderate – or vice versa. ”The class is all planned with these sequences, which stimulates heart rate variation, accelerating weight loss.”
