Contemporary Dance

About the class

Rambert Grades is a pioneering contemporary dance syllabus born from the partnership between two of the world’s leading contemporary dance organisations: Rambert and Rambert School.

Across eleven grades, the syllabus offers students the opportunity to develop lifelong skills. Rambert Grades encourages young people to own their individuality, be playful, work in a present manner, think independently, relate with others and have confidence in decision making while learning and embodying our three strands, Technique, Performance and Creative. The Rambert Grades syllabus is progressive and inclusive and is designed to be accessible for people from all backgrounds.

Our Level 3 class will bring expressive movement blending modern, jazz, and ballet for creative storytelling.

Classes at Arts1 focus on developing Contemporary techniques; with an emphasis on Release technique and incorporating elements of Cunningham, Graham and Contact Improvisation. Participants will build a foundation that incorporates technique from their other classes, providing a way into somatic exploration and an ability to improvise in response to music, visual art, language and thematic stimulus.
