Dancenorth’s contemporary dance classes are designed to get you moving just like you, but even better. Inspired by its modern dance heritage, these classes rebel against their classical ballet counterpart, embracing individuality, expression and freedom. There is a specific focus on engaging weight and associated forces (gravity and momentum) to drive movement in a way that is both efficient and bold.
Classes include a series of short sequences (including floor work, standing and travelling), which gradually prepare the whole body to move, with greater ease, power and flow. Each session concludes with a longer, choreographic sequences, set to great music, allowing participants to put movement ideas and pathways learned during class into practice.
