About Contemporary Advanced with Stephen Pelton
Classes start on Sat 20th April 2024 and run until Sat 6th July 2024 (excluding Sat 2nd June due to half term)
Break through inhibitions and find new dimensions within dance.
These classes combine Limon-based fundamentals, ballet placement exercises, and yoga-inspired strengthening practices with Stephen's own lyrical and idiosyncratic movement style. As you advance, you'll learn a choreographic sequence that reinforces technical principles and emphasizes movement dynamics and musicality with a live accompaniment of music.
In a relaxed environment with supportive encouragement, Stephen helps unify the group. We recommend you join this class if you have about five years dance experience.
