Youth Dance Classes
Rambert's Learning & Participation department runs weekly evening classes for young people in contemporary dance. All classes take place in the Company's Chiswick studios and cost £75 for 12 weeks.
Term dates: Wednesday 7 January - Thursday 2 April 2009
(No classes during half term week commencing 16 February)
Young Movers (10 - 13 years)
Wednesdays 5.00-6.30pm
Young Movers is suitable for young people interested in dance who are aged 10 to 13 years. The classes are taught by experienced dancers and teachers. Each class starts with a thorough warm-up focusing on alignment and increasing flexibility.
Rambert Young Movers classes are high energy, fun and an excellent introduction to contemporary dance for young people. The Young Movers meet weekly to learn contemporary dance technique and to create their own choreography. No previous dance experience is necessary but members must be enthusiastic and committed.
Generation 2 (14 - 17 years)
Thursdays 6.30-8.00pm
The Generation 2 contemporary classes provide a fun, yet more challenging, environment for the older dancers in Rambert's youth programme. The focus for the Generation 2 dancers is to hone technique and performance skills, refine movement and challenge fitness levels and movement memory. The choreographic tasks are more complicated, encouraging them to experiment with how they create and sequence movement.
