Contemporary Dance (Ages 8-12)

Enjoy the exhilaration that comes from dancing through space with ease and confidence!

Tutors bring their own personal movement vocabularies and choreographic styles, whilst teaching well-respected internationally-influenced techniques with a special New Zealand flavour.

Floor work, exercises and combinations are built on each week, enabling students to explore their own movement style and creativity.
