A fun, inclusive introduction to creative and contemporary dance, this class is perfect for young people who love to move, create and express themselves. Through imaginative movement, dance games and choreography, participants will develop confidence, coordination and creativity while exploring the foundations of contemporary dance in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Working together, participants will build performance skills, make new friends and enjoy opportunities to perform in a professional setting, including the Brewery Arts Theatre. As dancers grow, they can continue their journey through Brewery Youth Dance, progressing into the 11–14 and 15+ groups to further develop their skills and experience.
