Class description: 

Cathy will lead dynamic, rhythm-focused, and fast-paced classes full of expansive movement, sweeping floor work, and contrasting dynamics, exploring pulse, pause, groove, and precision. Classes explore how a variety of beat-driven music can challenge, inspire, and energise the way we move, encouraging dancers to respond to rhythm, texture, and musical detail with confidence, musicality, and expression. 

Adaptations are always welcome, with dancers encouraged to explore the material in ways that work for their bodies, creating an inclusive environment where everyone can experience the groove and joy of movement.
