CONTEMPORARY WITH DEBBIE SHINE

Debbie’s technique of contemporary dance involves releasing the tension from the body to allow the sequences to flow, and using the breath to enhance the quality of the movement.

Friday 6pm to 7:30pm: Intermediate/Advanced. This class is primarily for those with at least some previous experience in dance of any style, and preferably some knowledge of contemporary technique. The sequences are longer and more complex than on Saturdays, and are taught more quickly. 

Saturday 5pm to 6.30pm: Beginners. This class is aimed at beginners but everyone is welcome to join. The focus is on body awareness and spatial awareness, and involves floor work and travelling sequences. 

Prices: Fri 6pm £6, Sat 4:30pm £7 

Special Offer: 5 classes for £25 – 5-class-card valid for 2 months from date of purchase, valid in both Friday and Saturday classes.
