Originally a modern response to Ballet, Contemporary is a global dance movement that incorporates a wide range of styles and practices. It is characterised by its use of space, floorwork, breath and creative expression.

At Dance Base our classes feature Cunningham, Release, Flying-Low, improvisation and more.

This Vintage Contemporary Intermediate Course is designed to give experienced older movers more rigorous contemporary based dance training. Classes will focus on developing technique, stamina, facility, improvisation and performance while learning safe dance practices and body maintenance.

We will work on artistic and performance skills, including learning repertory material, composing your own material and improvisations. Class will begin with a short warm up and end with a warm down to end the session.

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in and bare feet. Don’t forget to bring your bottle of water!

How to prepare

Wear comfortable clothing. Participants usually dance in their bare feet, but soft dance shoes, such as a soft ballet or jazz shoe may be acceptable.

Don’t forget to bring a bottle of water!

As we move into the colder months of our changeable Scottish weather, please wear layers to the class to keep sufficiently warm during, as we are still continuing to ensure ventilation in our studios.
