What is contemporary dance?

Some members of our dance class with Chrissie Ardill a young freelance dancer who has stepped in while Linzi is away touring with Scottish Ballet.

Our Keep Dancing class (for older people) at the Macrobert Arts Centre, is still struggling to find ourselves.

Where do we fit in? Is contemporary dance for us and if so what exactly is contemporary dance? Is it all about learning a routine and performing it (theatre) or about self expression (art)?

The jury is out.
