Creative Dance Classes: 13-17yrs (Year 9-12)
Laban Building
Every Saturday
Event details
Our Creative Dance Classes develop young dancer’s movement vocabulary, their ideas and ability to create and choreograph dance. Imaginations are sparked and nurtured by our experienced teachers. Physicality, technical and performance skills develop as they progress through our programme of classes for 3-17 year olds.
In this class, participants aged 13-17yrs (school Year 9-12) develop their skills relating to the principles and foundations of contemporary dance technique. They will have the opportunity to work together creatively and, with the guidance of our teachers, devise movement work of their own.
Hugely talented and compassionate staff (across the organisation) bring out the very best in young people. Their professionalism and the wonderful location give kids a sense of themselves as real dancers and create a community that feels inclusive, creative and bold.
