Geoffrey’s class uses ballet as a framework to facilitate your own personal movement interests.
We will employ the technical facility that ballet training provides to enhance our ability to make choices whilst dancing—finding heightened sensation, fantasy and physical freedom through these means. Class will focus on imagery and musicality as an inroad to the finer points of ballet technique. Dancers can use this class as an opportunity to focus on their own movement obsessions, whether that be somatic investigation, performativity, achieving or diverging from traditional ballet aesthetics: all is available.
Class will follow a typical ballet class structure: moving from warmup and technical exercises at the barre to more open exercises in the centre. It will involve the quick learning of material and use of ballet terminology.

This class is aimed at contemporary dancers with at least a foundational knowledge of classical ballet. However, dancers with different levels of experience with ballet are welcome.
