Professional Training

Please note there is no class on 17 February. 

Aimed at professional dance artists (including graduates and those in training), these classes offer a continuing programme to maintain and develop skills and reflect on your own practice. A place to enjoy moving and meeting up with other professionals.

Co-curated by dance artists Chess Dillon Reams and Laura Careless, different guest artists will work with a wide range of current contemporary practices and techniques, bringing their own style and professional experience to their class.

Have a cuppa on us after class!

We love to find more ways for artists to connect. And drink tea. So we’re offering our Village Green on floor two of The Dance Space to artists who fancy catching up with each other after attending Professional Training on Monday mornings. 

See below for teacher information, which will be updated regularly.

Due to safety and warm-up requirements, late arrivals (15+ minutes) will not be permitted.

This class is presented by South East Dance. Discounts are available for Welcome Card holders. Find out more about the Welcome Card here.
