About Contemporary Introduction with Sarah Miller
Classes start on Wednesday 17 September and run until Wednesday 10 December 2025 (excluding Wednesday 29 October due to half term)
Jump, spin and glide across the floor with contemporary dance!
This course is aimed at complete beginners and offers an introduction to contemporary dance in an encouraging and laid-back group setting, with opportunities for creative development of your own style. Sarah Miller will guide you through the basics of core contemporary dance vocabulary and techniques which includes Cunningham and release.
Cunningham technique emphasises the movement of the spine through curves, tilts, twists, and arches. Incorporation of release technique encourages flowing movements that focus on breath. Live music from James Taylor will help inspire your movement throughout the class.
There will be opportunities to try out a range of contemporary dance skills from moving across the floor to simple springs and jumps. You will leave confident and ready to take your next step in contemporary dance.
