Classes are offered at a number of different levels.
Level 1 Absolute Beginners Contemporary Dance (Monday)
Brand new to dance? Do you want to learn something new with others who have never taken a dance class? Our Absolute Beginners classes are aimed at newcomers to dance, giving you an introduction to the contemporary style. All you need is enthusiasm!
Level 2 Beginners Contemporary Dance (Tuesday or Wednesday)
Perhaps you are returning to dance after a break, or have experience in another movement style and want a new challenge? If so, our Beginners class may be what you are looking for. Building on the core skills of contemporary dance, this level will move a little faster and will introduce more traveling steps and challenging combinations with an emphasis on technique development and musicality.
Level 3 Intermediate Contemporary Dance (Monday)
The class moves at a faster pace and is suitable for those with some experience in contemporary dance. You will gain a better understanding of posture and alignment and learn longer movement sequences. The class builds on Cunningham based and Release based techniques, utilizing breath and momentum to facilitate movement.
Level 3 Intermediate Ballet (Tuesday)
The intermediate ballet class is suitable for those who have done some ballet before. The class begins with a number of exercises at the barre before continuing in the centre with a series of short sequences. The class ends with fast paced jumps, concluding with grand allegro.
Level 4 Advanced Contemporary Dance (Wednesday)
This is a dynamic, fast paced class focusing on a Cunningham and Graham warm up, followed by a number of travelling sequences leading to a final choreography which is developed and changed weekly. Please note that this is not a professional level class.
