Since 2011 he has been teaching his "Organic Acrobatics" workshops ( Chania Dance Days Festival, Dock 11 studios etc.)

Through these workshops he aims to connect elements of
acrobatics, dance and other disciplines he has practiced and most importantly, share his passion for movement.
Organic acrobatics
The goal of this class is to expand our body's capacity for movement, developing
potency, versatility and creativity.
We will be building a vocabulary of movement based on acrobatics, setting the
basics for the body to be able to move with freedom through all the levels, axes and
directions.

We will be working on our physical qualities (power, mobility, stamina,
awareness…) in order to prepare the body for the new requirements and based on
that, we will develop our coordination in gradually more complex movements.

The level of our physical qualities and our coordination determines the quality and
ease with which we perform movements, making them more organic and applicable.
We will be practicing full dancing as a way to engage our body and allow it to
connect all the acquired information.

Both through improvisation and set material, our goal will be to reach a point of high energy as a group, where we are mutually inspired to play, learn, create and perform. This I believe is the most important thing.
I want to share, enjoying movement and through that letting the body's intelligence
Express.
