Join Company Chameleon for Adult Class as we take you from movement fundamentals to learning new phrases. All levels welcome!

Our open level Adult Class is back for Autumn 2026!

Whether you're seeking to enhance your technique, reconnect with your passion for dance, or simply enjoy a fun and energising workout, this class offers something for everyone.

Led by Associate Artists Carlos Oliveira, Lydia Horne and JP Hon, Adult Class offers a friendly introduction to contemporary dance.

Along with developing your dance skills and feeling good through movement, you’ll learn the fundamentals of contemporary dance practice with a focus on technique, vocabulary and phrases.

What to expect:

Warm-up: Like any dance form, contemporary dance typically starts with a warm-up session. This includes stretching exercises to increase flexibility, cardiovascular exercises to get the heart rate up, and movements that focus on alignment and grounding.

Foundational Techniques: Contemporary dance incorporates various techniques from ballet, modern dance, and other movement forms. You can expect to learn a series of technique exercises, firstly focusing on centre work, before moving onto floor work and travelling exercises.

Learning Choreographic Phrases: In the second half of class you'll learn choreographic phrases or sequences. These phrases will range from simple combinations of movements to more complex sequences that challenge coordination and musicality.

Cool-down: Your cool- down involves gentle movement, stretching, focused breathing, rehydration and reflection. It's essential for cooling down muscles, preventing injury, and promoting overall well-being.
