CONTEMPORARY DANCE AND CHOREOGRAPHY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
aged 11-16
"My daughter has been coming to Kate’s classes for about 10 years. There is nothing else that has stuck around in her routine for this long. The combination of imaginative prompts and creative freedom and the light touch with firm boundaries and positive encouragement just keep my kid interested with a strong sense of belonging. She has made very close friendships with kids that she met at Magic Moves - they are now hanging out at secondary school. Kate has developed the programme for the older kids to involve more technical aspects of dance, choreography, film making and performance opportunities and I think my kid is lucky to belong to this little community with Kate at the head."
A contemporary dance class with a creative twist.
The first half of the class is for warming up and learning dance technique through movement exercises and phrases designed to improve strength, coordination, flexibility and musicality. Occasionally other dance styles will be fused with contemporary.
The second half of the class will be for making dances. You will work in small groups and individually on creative tasks learning choreographic skills to enable you to become a great dance maker and have a lot of fun doing it!
The group will also have the opportunity to perform at local dance events and festivals and to make dance films. In 2024 our film "On the Wing" was selected for the Brighton Screen Dance Festival.
​
Both beginners and those with previous dance experience are welcome at this dance class. Just bring your enthusiasm for dance and dance making.
