Gaga, a movement exercise developed by acclaimed Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, is used in daily training sessions by the dancers of Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company. A version of this technique, developed for non-dancers, will be  taught at weekly classes at CongregationBeth Elohim.

Naharim developed Gaga/People classes for people with no dance background. Gaga/People offers a one-hour movement workout done in comfortable clothes. It allows the participant “to discover agility, flexibility, strength, speed, efficiency, stamina, explosive power, groove, delicacy, the connection between pleasure and effort, and isolation and articulation of joints.”

Wow.

Starting January 10th, there will be classes on Monday and Wednesday nights from 8-9PM at Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope for $13/class.
