Junior Contemporary Dance Company Class
A creative contemporary dance class for boys and girls, an environment for young people who have shown an interest in dance, movement or acrobatics.
Each week the dancers will, in this nurturing environment, experience the endless creative possibilities of contemporary dance – floorwork, leaps and turns, gestures, going upside down, and a wide range of music, moods and dynamics. Through learning and making choreography, junior dance company classes will work towards studio-based performances.
Each session is two hours long and includes a warm-up, creative dance games, development of innovative dance material with the young dancers' input, rehearsal and preparation for performances.
Performances are optional, according to the schedule of students. Together, students will grow in confidence, strength and ability through improvising, creating, and practising drills and dance phrases. This Junior Dance Company nurtures young people into contemporary dance, allowing one and all to make their own dances, push their own boundaries and imaginations, and collaborate creatively. In this class we also use acrobatic and partnering material, teaching different handstands, cartwheels and movement material that excite young dancers.
Classes are held in alignment with Rolypoly Family principles. We care about dancing to practice body positivity, social inclusion, gender equality, and creative confidence.
Open Level Contemporary Dance Class
For a contemporary dance experience in a supportive environment that will challenge you at your own pace! Held at an open level, developing strength, mind-body connection and energy efficiency for people and dancers at every stage.
Driven by a love for kinaesthetic flow and physical creativity, these contemporary dance classes get you moving, going upside down, falling off balance, and back in control again. Designed to get you in touch with your own groove, you will strengthen your body awareness by understanding movement patterns, challenging coordination skills and musicality, and getting to move more freely. These contemporary dance classes will challenge your core, your body’s dynamic alignment, and increase the articulation of your spine, hands, and feet. Besides increasing your movement range, dancing increases your expressivity through honing physical precision, mental focus and spatial/collective awareness. It is also, fundamentally, great fun!
Limited slots with special rates for freelance performing artists. Please email to enquire.
