About our modern dance classes
Modern dance gives more room for interpretation than ballet and has a freer feel. Lessons also cover jazz, with quick footwork, leaps and turns. It is a grounded, energetic style seen in theatre, music videos and commercials, and a brilliant way to keep fit.
We teach modern dance on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday at Spencers Wood Pavilion in Spencers Wood, Kennet Valley Free Church in Fords Farm and The Cornwell Centre in Tilehurst. There are 6 weekly classes to choose from.
