We bring a fresh, holistic and creative approach to dance that incorporates principles from Western and Eastern disciplines. We are currently exploring and developing a programme of spiral movements, bringing awareness to the spirals inherent in most movement forms. We also incorporate singing, rhythm exercises and poetry into our sessions as well as a close relationship with musicians to gain a deeper, more sensitive understanding of the music we work with.

Our sessions are open to anyone, who would like to gain inspiration and enhance their creativity by working with creative movement and diverse art forms.

We aim to:

• Expand accessable dance vocabulary
• Balance good technique with imagination and creativity
• Honour natural movement principles
• Be accessible to all ages and levels of experience

The sessions are facilitated by members of SpirapArts company and include:

• A warm up/preparation, including movement, singing and rhythm exercises
• Some SpiralDance
• Taught choreographed sequences
• Time for creative exploration
• A close down and time for discussion and questions.

When appropriate they can lead to performance projects (see past work)
