Gaga is a movement language developed by the Batsheva Dance Company in Isreal. Gaga has two educational tracks: Gaga for Dancers is intended for trained dancers and comprises the daily training of the Batsheva Dance Company; Gaga for the People is designed for the general public and requires no dance training. Many folks have stated that after taking Gaga classes, their passion for dance has been re-ignited; they have found new ways to connect to their inner beast without being self-conscious about how the movement looks while at the same time discovering how to deeply listen to their bodies and self.
