Your first class

Just the wish to move. Many people come to us as complete beginners, and yet almost everyone is much better than the rest at something. The mix is what makes the group. We adapt every exercise to your level, or show you alternatives if you have an injury or another limitation.

Mostly in English, because we’re often an international mix. If you’re unsure of your English, we’re happy to translate for you along the way. But we show most things directly anyway and do them together. And you get to practise a bit of English on the side. ;)

Yes, all our classes are great for getting started. The only class that needs previous experience is Soft Acrobatics Intermediate. You’ll find it on Wednesday evenings in the schedule.

Comfortable clothes you can move freely in, so nothing tight or heavy. And bring something to drink.

Yes. The trial class is one class of your choice at a reduced price. If you want to see more after that, take the two-week trial: 14 days to try all our classes. You find both under Schedule & prices. We look forward to meeting you.

Yes, a few of us also train with you one to one. If you want to work on your own practice, we put together a session that fits you. Members get a reduced rate. Write to hey@bewegungskollektiv.de.

You pay per class or become a member. If you come now and then, you are welcome, and if you come regularly, you pay less with a membership. All prices and options are on the schedule & prices page.

Cancel your booking in Eversports, up to 30 minutes before the class, so your spot is free for someone else. Memberships renew monthly, and you can cancel them online any time in your Eversports membership details.

A class mixes exercises alone and with a partner, and we explain what each one is for. Many end with open training, where you go deeper into the topic or try your own ideas. Ask us anything, any time: before, during or after class.

Between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the class. The exact length is in the schedule.

Four days a week, mornings and evenings. The exact times are in the schedule.

Six class types, four days a week: Strength & Mobility, Movement Basics, Handstands (beginner), Soft Acrobatics Beginner, Soft Acrobatics Intermediate and Kung Fu Movement. Strength and mobility build the base, acrobatics and handstands add play and balance, kung fu movement brings the internal martial arts. Each class has its own page with what to expect.

Fitter, yes, but that is a side effect. What you learn is how strength, mobility, coordination and focus work together.

Bewegungskollektiv Berlin is a group of trainers from acrobatics, strength and mobility, internal martial arts and movement, and the community that trains with them. It is about one thing above all: learning how movement works, from several angles and together with others. Who teaches what is on the About us page.

Movement training is not one discipline like dance, martial arts or calisthenics. It takes from all of them: jumping, climbing, crawling, balancing, catching, throwing, dancing.

We use exercises and principles from dance, martial arts, yoga, parkour and acrobatics, and we speak one language across them. The more classes you visit, the easier new things become. You learn at your own pace, together with others.

Movement culture goes back to Ido Portal, but has since developed in its own right. In his words it contains "the collected knowledge of human movement: breathing, fighting, dancing, sitting, strolling to the supermarket in the morning." There are several documentaries about him if you want to know more. For us it mostly means moving together with others, trying out what is possible with curiosity, spurring each other on, and learning new things instead of only practising what you can already do. That is why open training matters so much to us.
