Building on the foundations developed in Brewery Youth Dance 7–11, this class encourages young dancers to strengthen their technique while developing their creativity, confidence and artistic voice. Through contemporary dance, creative movement and choreography, participants will refine their skills, collaborate with others and explore new ways of creating and performing dance.
Working as a supportive dance company, participants will enjoy exciting performance opportunities both on stage and in the community, while continuing to develop as confident and expressive performers. As participants grow, they can continue their journey through Brewery Youth Dance, progressing into the 15+ group to further develop their skills and experience.
If you’ve not attended a Brewery Youth Dance class before and would like to try the session out before committing to the term, please contact emily.davies@breweryarts.co.uk
