KUNG FU KIDS

Introduction to Martial Arts (3. – 6 yo) 
 
Time: Fridays 16h30 (Fully booked)
* This class is aimed at the Portuguese-speaking community in Berlin. 
For classes in English and other age groups, please contact us via form below specifying your interest to be added to the waiting list.
 
 
 
Class Description:
This course is a structured and age-appropriate introduction to martial arts. The focus is on learning Kung Fu through movement, playfulness, and clear routines that support both physical and personal development.
Martial arts at this age help children develop body awareness, coordination, balance, and posture. At the same time, they encourage important social and emotional skills such as respect, self-control, patience and confidence. The class provides a calm, supportive environment where children can explore movement while learning responsibility for themselves and others.
 
The class is designed as a positive first encounter with martial arts, focusing on enjoyment, structure, and long-term skill development rather than competition.

Pilates & Floor Flow

with Camilla
In this class, we will reconnect with the body by moving with flow, both individually and in groups, using drills and short phrasings to build trust in our relationship to the floor. We will warm up using core Pilates elements and cool down with active stretching to encourage sustainable overall strength and awareness.

This class is about finding flow and expanding your comfort zone in search of more freedom and mobility from grounding.

 

Class time: Tuesday 20:15 – 21:30

The Sensing Body in Contact Improvisation

Fascia, Axis, Intuition: Intelligence in Motion
 
Class every Friday (expect last Friday of each month) 16.15 to 17.45
 
This regular Contact Improvisation class is rooted in the Sensing Body practice. We explore movement as a dialogue between intuition, somatic listening, and the architecture of the body in space. The work activates your fascia and inner fluidity while cultivating awareness of your bone alignment and axis. Through solo and partner exercises, we investigate how sensation, structure, and improvisation co-create movement possibilities. You’ll deepen your capacity to feel and articulate motion from within—guided not only by physicality but by your intuitive intelligence. The class is physical, yet subtle: a place where bones respond to feeling, and movement emerges from presence.
 
Class 12 to 20 euro
10 Class packet 88 euro 
 
 
 
The Sensing Body Practice
 
The Sensing Body Practice is a somatic technique I developed to awaken deep inner perception and interaction with the field. Rooted in dance and performative exploration, it also extends into mentoring, subconscious coaching, and non-human connection. I’ve worked with it for over 10 years, including with dogs and diverse global communities—both in person and online. The practice is part of the Multi-Universe Program, where sensing becomes a gateway to understanding how we shape reality. It is not only a dance tool—it is a living technology of alignment, presence, and inner architecture.

Afro Latin Grooves Training

Sweat. Dance. Move to the rhythm.

Afro Latin Groove is a dance training rooted in Afro-Latin diasporic dances, approached through contemporary dance and somatic practices. Through the joy of moving together, we reconnect with the rhythmic mobility of the spine, the release of the pelvis, and the rebound of our joints. We sweat, move, and become more sensitive to polyrhythms and our relationship with gravity, while cultivating a deeper connection to the presence of our own bodies through our relationship with others, discovering together the energetic power of embodied rhythm.

*A practice of training the body through pleasure and joy, where all bodies and levels of experience are welcome.

Every Wednesday at 11:45–13:15 hours.

Single class: €15
4-class pass: €40

Urban Sports Club members: €5 suggested donation
 
 
Valentina Menz Nash is a choreographer, performer, and movement researcher who, in 2023, completed her MA in Choreography at Hochschule Ernst Busch (HZT Berlin). Her practice focuses on the creative meeting of her experience with Afro-Latin American dances and her background in contemporary dance, especially improvisation and the practice of Contact Improvisation, searching for other modes of embodiment that allow for different relationships with the environment. She is interested in how the development of rhythmic sensibility can allow us to connect with the force of gravity, inviting the exploration of different states of presence and ways of coming together.
 

CAPOEIRA für Kinder

Capoeira with Professora Alegría

Capoeira

Capoeira dates back to the discovery of Brazil by the Portuguese in the year 1500. Capoeira developed throughout Brazil during 350 years of slavery thereafter, and can be described as a “martial art disguised as a dance”, used by the African enslaved communities as a tool for freedom and a vehicle for liberation.

After the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888, Capoeira was illegal and its practitioners were socially excluded for more than 40 years. Mestre Bimba proved the legitimacy of Capoeira as an art form and proved its legitimacy, opening the first official Capoeira school in Bahia in 1932. In 1941 Mestre Pastinha opened a centre for the teaching and practice of traditional Capoeira. Many other Capoeira schools opened subsequently, and Capoeira began to have presence in the USA and Europe in the 1970’s.

In 2014 the Roda de Capoeira was introduced to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Capoeira for Children

Capoeira nowadays is trained, taught and played as a sport and hobby, although it is much more than that – Capoeira is a lifestyle.

Capoeira is a cultural expression which fosters balance, strength and coordination but also discipline, awareness, respect and ritual. Students also learn to play 5 instruments and to sing and speak in Portuguese.

Capoeira is for every age and everyone. This class is specially for children and teenagers, but adults are more than welcome. Capoeira is often practiced as a family.

Professora Alegría

Tosca Salinas Lange was born in Madrid to a Spanish father and a Swedish mother.

Her first contact with Capoeira was in 1997. In 2000 she started training regularly with Mestre Matias in Bern, Switzerland (Escola Brasil Capoeira) and has taught in Bern, Barcelona and Berlin since 2006. She organises a yearly international Capoeira event.

Alegria trains and teaches under the supervision of Mestre Matias (Bern) and Mestre Bailarino (Berlin).

Professora Alegría teaches adults and children. Get in touch for more information.

Über Christina Theisen

Ich erforsche die Natur der Evolution auf natürliche Weise durch den Ausdruck meines Körpers – durch Bewegung, Herz und Präsenz und vor allem durch Berührung, Spiel und Beziehung. Dabei betrachte ich uns als ganze, fühlende Wesen, beeinflusst von äußeren und inneren Kräften. Meine Herangehensweise an Bewegung und Verkörperung ist von der Natur und meiner Verbindung zum grundlegenden elementaren Sein geprägt. Ich bin in der Nähe der Wälder im Hunsrück aufgewachsen, was dazu beitrug, mein Vertrauen und meine Verbindung zum Körper zu stärken und zu pflegen.Ich mag euch einladen in meine Erfahrungen:dass das Fühlen von Emotionen heilsam ist,dass der Körper immer die Wahrheit spricht und weiss was stimmt,dass es sinnvoll ist, meinen eigenen Sinnen zu vertrauen.Meine Reise als Körperforscherin begann mit der Aufnahme von Kampfkunstpraktiken im Alter von 5,5 Jahren, die später zu meiner Leidenschaft für den Tanz führten. Nach meinem Studium als Physiotherapeutin widmete ich mich bewusst der professionellen Heil- und Bewegungspraxis. Ein Umzug nach London inspirierte mich zur Entdeckung der Contact Improvisation, der ich seitdem nachgehe.Meine Neugierde für verkörperte Präsenz und Spiel führte mich zur Clownerie und zum Authentic Movement.Mit dem Ziel, insbesondere Eltern und Kinder in ihrem Wachstum und in Körperbeziehung zu unterstützen, schaffe ich Räume für gesunde Entfaltung durch Verkörperung, Bewegung und Begegnung.Ich erlernte das Konzept von Contakids im Jahr 2017 in Italien und biete seitdem meine Contakids-Kurse in verschiedenen Studios hier in Berlin an, darunter die Tanzfabrik Kreuzberg, Marameo in Mitte,  Tanzbasis Friedrichshain, sowie saisonale Kooperationen mit kleineren Institutionen. Contakids teilte ich ebenso gerne anderswo in Großbritannien, Kalifornien und New Mexico, USA.Ich freue mich darauf, nun im K77 mit dem Contakids Programm sowohl kleine als auch große Menschen aktiv zu beleben und zu bewegen.Weitere Informationen findest du unter www.steppinginto.de <http://www.steppinginto.de/> und per Instagram contakids.berlin <https://www.instagram.com/contakids.berlin>.
