Summary/Abstract: The report discusses the transformations of spiral dance and interaction of the German modernists with the South American dance culture, led to the creation of a new pedagogical approach with Bulgarian participation, called the principle Epiral. The work of the Chilean Patricio Bunster and his active contact with German modernists led to the creation of the Compania Espiral in Chile, and subsequently and to transferring the knowledge of spiral dance to Germany as a taught technique in "Paluka Schule". This is where the Epiral principle (control, rule, created), created by the Bulgarian pedagogue and choreographer Tsvetanka Gerginova. The principle Epiral is associated with classical and modern dance, but also with a new understanding of work with body, movement, space and air. It is a different foundation, on which the artist can set foot on to build himself, no matter in what dance style prefers to put.
