With a different teacher each month.
BSL Interpreted.
Programmed by Siobhan Davies Studios.
A challenging and generous space to dance.
Going to a dance class can be scary! Unscary Saturdays are inclusive classes open to all ages and abilities, from professional dancers to untrained enthusiastic movers. The aim is to dismantle the unhelpful pressures and sense of intimidation that can often be felt in dance spaces – by both the teachers and the participants.
This is a chance to try out dance styles that you’ve always wanted to give a go but felt too scared OR that you did long ago but feel out of practice with now.
Come with a keenness to explore movement and an openness to try stuff. Children 12 years and under must be accompanied by a participating adult.
