Contemporary Dance
Contemporary dance borrows from jazz, ballet, funk, social dance styles and many modern dance styles of the 20th century. Contemporary dance encourages natural, spontaneous movement and personal interpretation. It focuses on self-expression, awareness of space and body movement, use of body weight, efficiency of muscle use and safe body alignment. Classes start with a comprehensive warm-up and gradually build up to more elaborate dance routines.
Contemporary Yoga
Chunky Move Contemporary yoga is led by experienced Chunky Move teachers—beginning with a stimulating Vinyasa warm up, leading into contemporary dance pathways and concluding with a dance phrase. It focuses on balancing the energy of body and mind to gain strength, flexibility and balance both on and off the yoga mat.
