Contemporary Dance Classes - Improvers

Contemporary Dance Classes - Improvers

Our Contemporary Dance Classes - Improvers follows on from the Contemporary beginners course.  At this level, you will begin to develop a deeper understanding of the four main contemporary dance techniques: Graham, Cunningham, Limon and Release

The Improvers 1 level will advance your physicality, musicality, stamina and coordination. You will begin to feel more freedom of movement and a noticeable development in your posture and balance

These evening classes are held in central London dance studios and are suitable for participants who have taken a Contemporary Beginners course.

Contemporary Dance Classes - Improvers Content

Exact course content may differ depending on the duration of the course, your individual needs and those of the group collectively. However, topics generally covered may include:

  • Explore and understand more advanced contemporary movement and tasks
  • Concentration on developing your core strength
  • Improved coordination and correct body alignment
  • Memorise combinations of steps and perform more intricate choreographic phrases

Like all of our contemporary dance lessons, you will be given friendly feedback and support from your tutor throughout the course.

Contemporary Dance Techniques

There are several Contemporary Dance Techniques and our tutors are experts in different combinations of those styles. Below are the main Contemporary Dance genres:

  • Release: emphasis on fluidity and the efficient use of energy and breath
  • Graham: focus on the use of contraction, release, fall and recovery
  • Cunningham: promotes natural movement through rhythm and articulation
  • Contact Improvisation: partners improvise using weight exchange and fluid movement
