What to expect from our adult dance class:

• Sessions led by one of our Co-Artistic Directors (Dominic Mitchell) and Candoco Teaching Artist (Paulina Porwollik)
• 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 movement through imagery* and through the Dunham Technique*.

*movement through imagery: Paulina’s practice derives from the research of movement through imagery, our surroundings and different movement qualities. She enjoys investigating the body’s potential through a playful exploration while expanding our own unique movement language.
