Tamsyn’s dance style fuses release-based practice with lyrical jazz influences. This eclectic mix results in a high energy classes which alternate between the floor and the air. The course provides challenges and is both motivating and enjoyable.
THE COURSE
A fast-paced course suitable for those with prior experience of contemporary dance.
This course incorporates travelling and floorwork, with more emphasis placed on dynamic quality and performance than our beginners class, and a slightly longer sequence created week by week.
