The hamstrings series - bicycles - the weights provide both traction and resistance and they require co-ordination and core strength to keep the torso stable, afterwards your hips and pelvis feel great, the hamstrings have had a workout and a stretch. Fluid expansive movement is great for your fascia and with the co-ordinated breath it is a full body experience.
You can find me in Birmingham in the Jewellery Quarter - book an Intro package and change your movement experience.

Call out for older professional contemporary dancers!

Would you describe yourself as an older professional contemporary dancer?
If so, you are most welcome to come along and join us at one, some or all of the classes listed below.

These classes are aimed at dancers who have worked professionally as performer, teacher, and/or choreographer – dancers who have technical training/skills in contemporary dance. You may still be working in that capacity or your professional life may be a distant memory but you would love to get back into the studio and rediscover your plié!

Class will follow the familiar pattern of warm up exercises, technique (Graham/Cunningham) and travelling phrases. Then we will move on to learning and developing a longer phrase in the style of Alston.

This is the beginning of a much bigger project designed to create opportunities for older professional dancers to be able to train, create and perform new works - to have the opportunity to persuade our older bodies to sustain or rediscover the physical, technical and artistic challenges of dance that continue to bring us joy!

First & foremost I practice Gyrotonic because it feels good, it keeps me healthy & I enjoy it - I teach it because I want to help others feel the same thing!
I also enjoy having a job that is all about passing on knowledge & doing something good and worthwhile ... even if it doesn't make me rich 😁.

Book a 3 session intro package to explore some feel good functional movement for yourself.
