What to expect from our adult dance class:

• Sessions led by one of our Co-Artistic Directors (Dominic Mitchell) and Candoco Teaching Artist (Vanessa Abreu)
• Flexible and supportive environment
• Class is taught in spoken English and written English (with Zoom’s automated captioning and online chat box)
• You can expect dance classes integrating contemporary/modern dance principles, mindfulness, and improvisation. These are inclusive sessions, exploring internal rhythm* and the Dunham Technique*.

*internal rhythm: Playing with rhythm and intention, some of Vanessa’s classes will focus on moving from our individual sense of joy in movement, exploring flow, rhythm or musicality. The class will bring an eclectic selection of world music, to inspire improvision-based work into effort and dynamics, and explore contemporary dance combinations. The sessions will also touch on mindfulness, drawing on Vanessa’s passion and practice in yoga.
