Milan Ujvari

Milan Ujvari studied classical ballet (Hungarian Dance Academy) in Budapest in the early 2000s. Later on he has undergone further training in modern and contemporary dance (Flying Low and Passing Through) and material arts (Capoeira, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) at an international level. He holds a master’s degree in modern dance teaching (Hungarian Dance Academy) beside he is a StrongFirst kettlebell instructor and Functional Movement Screen specialist. He has been teaching contemporary dance technique and improvisation for more than a decade at institutions such as the Hungarian Dance Academy, the University of Theatre Arts Budapest, and the Budapest School of Contemporary Dance. As a dancer, he has worked with various companies and artists such as the Compagnie Pal Frenak, Cirque du Soleil, Krétakör Theater, Hungarian National Theater, Anna Réti, Claudio Stellato, Amos Ben-Tal, Rui Horta Stage Works, Nigel Charnock, Eva Duda, Rosana Hribar and Gregor Lustek. Ujvari strives to encourage his students to deepen their practice and to see movement as a holistic language in which they can express themselves socially, physiologically and physically. His personal intention is to see the human body as a collection of memories that can form not just a temple but also a playground.
