Claudine Giral
Drawing from the Cuban culture richness this dancer and pedagogue has been passing on her passion for more than 20 years throughout France. Apologist of Oxicas dances, she trained in the bosom of Maria Saduy (link at stage suds 2019) and Daisy Villalejo, holder of a diploma in sport and éducation and of a certicate in Mouvement Analyse of Laban-Bartenieff, she also is a dancer-therapist who practices the reflexology of foot massage and the Samvahan (Indian massage). Mixing her experience and intuition to the technical issues of the psycho-corporeal structure, she develops an orignial aproach that she passes on with humor and generisity. Based on a search of the spontaneous movement and creative expression, her teaching gives a meaning to Afro-Cuban dances.
