Comfy Pro Class

A morning class for experienced contemporary dancers, to resdicover sustainable , soft and spacious movement in a professional and inclusive room.

Techniques explored are drawn from holisitc and low-impact movement modalities, extending the body's range and pace without burning it out. Over time, you will use these skills to dynamically adapt the class to your own body and body cycles, developing self-awareness and adaptability in your dance practice .

This an independent artist-run class , which was started in 2026 to fill a gap in our local scene for professional artists who may not be practicing often enough to feel comfortable attending other advanced classes, and for intermediate and vocational dancers curious about the intersections of physical practice and self-care.

It's designed for anyone who feels at home in the complexity of pro class, while also being responsive to individuality and a desire to move fully with ease .

"I don't normally feel comfortable in technique classes but came away feeling genuinely welcomed and included. Patrick created such a warm, supportive, and inclusive environment where everyone could participate in their own way. It was a joyful experience I'd happily recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming, encouraging space to move and connect.

I was surprised by how much I learned in such a short time – I developed movement techniques and creative skills I didn't know I had, and it gave me the confidence to explore movement in a completely new way." – Interdisciplinary artist & performer

• looking for an accessible class to begin your journey with dance

• prefer to come into classes where you'll be challenged with a lot of quick instructions and little space to unpack things

• solely interested in processes, techniques or values that align more with exclusivity or elitism

• mostly interested in this class because you're curious about learning from a teacher whose body is different to yours, or interested in working with or learning from disabled artists

Then this class isn't intended for you. But feel free to check out the beginner, pro or seniors classes at your local dance organisations and companies.

Please note this class is taught by a teaching artist, not a qualified dance teacher , and techniques are drawn from the teacher's own choreographic and movement practices. It is intended to compliment the practices of trained dancers, and is less…
