About Contemporary Intermediate with Jenny Hayes
Autumn Term Classes start on Tuesday 15 September and run until Tuesday 8 December 2026 (excluding Tuesday 27 October due to half term).
Push your limits, sharpen your technique, and move with unstoppable power and precision.
Perfect for anyone with at least three years of dance experience and who is looking to gain a new insight into contemporary dance. Based on the Cunningham technique, these dynamic classes challenge your clarity, coordination, and spatial awareness at a higher level. Designed for intermediate dancers, classes move at a faster pace, introducing adage, travelling, and jumping sequences for a more complete, professional class experience.
Push your musicality, timing, and independence while expanding your range and control. Leave feeling stronger, sharper, and fully confident in how you move through space. These classes are accompanied by a live musician.
