Release the beast is a contemporary floor techni-que developed by choreographer and teacher Tony Vezich. The technique is a reaction to a serious side effect of his intense and physical working trajectories. In order to help protect his dancers from serious inju-ry Tony started to develop special exercises that deve-loped into a complete technique Release the Beast. There is a heavy emphasis on floor-work and a certain sequential order of the body in relation to the origin of movement initiation. Another defining factor is how to find a powerful centre, how to use this powerful centre to move greater distances within space, especially in relation to the floor and the lower region of dance space.
