About Tanztheater Improvers with Adrian Look
Autumn Term Classes start on Wednesday 16 September and run until Wednesday 9 December 2026 (excluding Wednesday 28 October due to half term).
Develop expression through movement with Tanztheater
Starting with a short game, you will learn to combine technique and improvisation to express a varied range of emotions. You will have the opportunity to tie everything together with choreography. It is a technical class, encouraging individual expression and a general level of fitness.
Dance artist Adrian Look will guide you through the class, helping you develop your skills and technique, accompanied by live music from Thomas Broda. This class is ideal for dancers with previous experience who are looking to expand their artistic and physical toolkit in a supportive environment
