Contemporary Improvers for Over 60s with Sarah Miller
Autumn 2026
About Contemporary Improvers for Over 60s with Sarah Miller
Autumn Term classes start on Tuesday 15 September and run until Tuesday 8 December 2026 (excluding Tuesday 27 October due to half term).
Develop your understanding of weight placement, alignment and contemporary dance technique.
Our expert teacher Sarah Miller will guide you through the basics of core contemporary dance vocabularies and techniques which include 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.
Accompanied by live music by guitarist Bradley Hutchings, you will explore your own unique movement style, inspired by Cunningham, Release and Yoga, choreographic phrases and improvisation.
This class is the perfect next step for anyone who has completed the introduction course or has six months to one year movement experience.
