Class description:
Prepare your body for the day ahead with this Contemporary Graham based class. Through the pillars of contraction, release and spiral we will challenge your centre of gravity through the use off-balance; and explore musicality with uneven rhythms and challenging rhythmical combinations. You can expect a spinal warm up, floor work, standing combinations, and plenty of travelling and jumps at the end of the class.
