What is our Creative Dance?
Creative Dance at the Red Door Studio offers a unique movement experience that combines personal expression with fluidity, presence and connection. Our Creative Dance is a regenerative activity for the individual, focussing on expression and play rather than perfection and technique. Exploring self and group dynamics, Creative Dance fosters a space in which to move with spontaneity and awareness. It beautifully combines physical exercise with an opportunity for artistic expression. At the Red Door Studio, this approach invites participants to deepen their understanding of self through a lens of resilience and creativity, celebrating through dance the interplay of freedom, coordination and community. The Red Door Studio is a supportive and inclusive space. We welcome every body, and no previous dance experience is required.
Classes for Children
In our Children’s Creative Dance classes students engage in a variety of activities, from dynamic movement to moments of stillness and relaxation. We recognise the importance, more than ever, to create opportunities for children to be physically active while fostering a rich imagination. We aim to create a safe and playful setting where children can directly engage with one another both physically and emotionally with presence.
Classes for Youth
Designed for participants aged 12-18, these fortnightly classes draw on principles from a range of different creative dance and movement practices. Each class is built around a different theme, and makes use of mindful direction, music and selected props to help extend creativity and physical expression. The result is an integrated movement experience that can be grounding, relaxing, playful, soulful, joyful and anything in between! Classes incorporate individual, small group and whole class work, and each session includes aesthetic and design-based exploration as well as physical movement. Any young person wanting to move or extend their creativity in a new direction is welcome - no previous dance experience required.
Classes for Adults
These weekly classes are a collaboration taught by rotating teachers Julie Aares (the Red Door Studio), Meah Velik-Lord (Travel Art Dance Company) and Mien Tan (Meanderful Movement). Each teacher brings a different approach to their offerings - but common to all classes in the series is the carefully curated use of physical props and inspiring music, inviting participants to explore expression and interaction through movement in a joyful, supportive environment. No previous dance experience required.
