OVER 50'S CONTEMPORARY | OPEN

A fun and engaging contemporary dance class for participants aged 50+, delivered in a supportive, structured session. This class is recommended for beginners and those with less than 2 years’ experience in contemporary, or for those who have not attended a contemporary class for several years. Suitable modifications will be offered to suit all levels of ability.

Led by an experienced practitioner, participants can expect to:

Explore their creativity and musicality through dance
Learn at an appropriate pace and level
Develop technique and stamina
Build strength, mobility and flexibility

Participants should wear clothes that they are comfortable moving in and bring a reusable bottle of water. Water fountains can be found on the ground floor and 1^st floor of the building. Shoes should be removed for class and participants should wear socks or participate bare foot.

We also offer a Advanced Contemporary class for Over 50s. If you are unsure which class level is appropriate for you, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly Box Office Team on 01473 295230 who would be happy to advise you.
