Youth Contemporary Dance Class

A youth contemporary dance class for ages 13-17, led by local dance artist Esme Dunn-Crowley. Perfect for any teens interested in moving! The class will be contemporary-focused where you will learn some technique exercises, floorwork flows, improvisational tools, and short movement phrases. I aim to create a welcoming and inspiring environment that makes everyone feel comfortable and supported without the competitive nature of other dance schools and classes.

What to expect in the class:

A warm welcome and introduction,

A contemporary technique-based warm up,

An introduction to floor work, leading to a floor work phrase,

A longer movement phrase that we will add to each week,

A gentle cool down to end.

What to bring:

A water bottle

Socks

Trousers/leggings/joggers will be best for floor work

A jumper/layers

A hairband for longer hair

About Esme

I am a freelance dance artist currently based in Bath and the South West. Having trained on the BA (Hons) Dance course at Bath Spa University, I graduated with a first-class honours in 2025. In 2025 I co-founded Daughters of Reclamation, a women-led contemporary dance collective creating emotionally and politically charged, earth-centred works rooted in connection, reflection, and reclamation. Alongside my work with Daughters of Reclamation I am an individual dance artist with lots of energy and creativity to give! I am keen to begin facilitating, supporting, and hopefully inspiring the next generation of dancers, and make teaching a part of my career as a freelance dance artist.

You can find some examples of my movement style on my instagram page @esme.dunn.crowley.

I hope to see you in the studio!
