Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics
The Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics method includes different courses of motion (multi-task exercises) that are conducted to the rhythm of improvised piano music. A session starts with a short warm-up that includes simple exercises to get body and mind prepared for the rest of the exercise session. The complexity of the exercises increases gradually during the session: starting with single tasks and then combining them into a multi-task exercise gradually increasing complexity.
