Classes that take place in our Abingdon Studio

Junior Contemporary – Abingdon

Contemporary classes allow dancers to enjoy the feeling of freedom within their movement. The emphasis is on releasing your body to discover the way it moves, learning the feeling of being ‘grounded’, and using all available space around you. These are fun and dynamic classes in their own right, or a useful tool for ballet dancers to improve their movement vocabulary and grow as dancers. This class is suitable for ages 8-15.

Teacher: Maryna Yegorova

Senior Mixed Ability Ballet – Abingdon

Our open mixed ability classes provide the ideal setting for teachers to tailor every exercise to meet the individual needs of every class. With such a variety of different open classes available, our teachers are skilled at adapting classes based on the students who attend on any given day, and so we believe our Mixed Ability Open Classes can help any dancer make fast and consistent progress. This particular class (running on Wednesday mornings) usually runs at a slightly more easy going pace than the others, which coupled with it’s weekday morning start time and easy going atmosphere, makes it a popular choice for adults who are new to ballet, as well as more mature students who enjoy it as a way to keep fit.
