Embracing the fearless age, eliminating judgment and encouraging all students to look at how movement is placed in space, creating young dance makers.

The students have a strong say in what they will learn, whether that be the style of movement or choice of music. At the end of year concert they will perform two dances. One of which they will generate the movement and ideas for and we will craft the dance as a class.

Contemporary Technique based on Cunningham and Release Technique.
‘Tricks’ incorporating acrobatic skills, break dancing and partnering
Choreography, students generate the movement and choreographic choices.
