Our courses allow you to develop and broaden your dance skills through classes that progress from week to week. Evening courses available include Yoga, Pilates-based Body Conditioning, Contemporary Dance, Classical Ballet, Contemporary Jazz and Zumba.

Classes begin with a thorough warm-up, with structured exercises focussing on correct alignment of the body, stretching and flexibility, building stamina and raising general fitness level. Sequences are incorporated into classes and developed during the term. As an evening course student you will benefit from the high standard of teaching, a friendly relaxed atmosphere and state of the art facilities.

Pilates and Yoga Mats

Pilates and Yoga mats are available to borrow for your class at no additional charge, but you are welcome to bring your mat if you have one.

What to Wear

Participants are advised to wear soft comfortable clothing that is easy to move in such as tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt with extra layers for warmth. For ballet you can wear tight fitting clothing so that your teacher can check your alignment. Participants should expect to do all classes in bare feet, except Ballet and Zumba. For Ballet classes participants should wear soft ballet shoes if they have them, but tight fitting socks would be a good alternative. We do not offer Pointe work Evening classes at Laban. For Zumba classes please wear trainers with non-marking soles. Jazz classes can be done in bare feet or jazz shoes or trainers with non-marking soles. To ensure your safety and the safety of others, we ask that participants do not wear jewellery when taking part in a class.

Accessibility

The Laban building is fully accessible, all classes are in principle open to people with disabilities. If you have any special requirements it is helpful if you discuss them with us beforehand. Please contact us on 020 8691 8600, or adults@trinitylaban.ac.uk.

Late-Comers

The classes run from 18.30h-20.00h and 9.00h-12.15h on Saturdays. For health and safety reasons participants who arrive later than 15 minutes after the start of the class will be permitted to watch the class but not take part. This is because they will have missed the essential warm up and introduction to the class which is vital in the prevention of injuries to participants. Laban has a duty of care to all evening class participants.

Location

All Adult Classes are located at the Laban Building, Creekside, London SE8 3DZ
