Contemporary Dance Taster Classes

Contemporary Dance Taster Classes

If the idea of taking a Contemporary Dance class has always intrigued you, then our Contemporary Dance Taster classes will introduce you to this creative and athletic style of dance.

Our class will enable you to move in a liberating way, connecting you to the floor and to the space that surrounds you, whilst improving your balance, posture, coordination and musicality. It will also allow you to decide whether a full Contemporary Beginners course is for you.

These evening classes are held in central London dance studios and are suitable for absolute beginners.

Contemporary Dance Class Taster Content

Exact class content may differ depending your individual needs and those of the group collectively. However, topics generally covered may include:

  • Understand posture and awareness of your body in space
  • Develop coordination of arms, feet and head
  • Exercises that focus on your core and posture>
  • Floor work - connecting you to the ground
  • Simple technical movement exercises
  • Explore correct ways to stretch the body

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
