Suitable for complete beginners as well as dancers of all levels keen to revisit the fundamentals, this introductory class draws on principles from a range of creative dance methodologies - making use of music and props to facilitate creativity, imagination and physical expression.

Each class has a focus on aesthetic as well as physical exploration, and is designed for anyone wanting to extend their creativity in a new direction or broaden their experience with dance and movement-based improvisation in a safe and friendly space. No previous experience required.

Prices are tiered - you are welcome to choose $20, $30 or $40 according to your financial situation - and there are also two places available free of charge in each workshop. If you would like to attend but finances are a barrier, please reach out to Meah at travelartdance@gmail.com.
