What better way to shake off all the extra winter fluff than jumping around a dance studio to inspiring music? In the heart of Moseley, dance artist Suzanne Grubham is running a dynamic contemporary class which is worth checking out once the sedation from the mulled wine has worn off and you remember wear you keep your dance kit.
Suzanne’s contemporary classes start on Monday 4 January at Moseley Dance Workshop for improver/intermediate level and will run every Monday at 8.30pm. The classes cost £6.50 and are friendly and informal, while offering the chance to improve on your technical ability as a contemporary dancer.
Suzanne combines her own choreography with that she has learnt from masters such as Merce Cunningham, and while performing with Richard Alston Dance Company and Sonia Sabri Dance Company, to give you an all-rounded class of building on core strength, developing dance sequences and throwing yourself around to some stomping tunes.
Suzanne began performing with Birmingham Youth Dance Company before studying a degree in Dance and Professional Practice in 2006. She toured regionally in her second year with CupaCo. performing work choreographed by Donald Edwards (Phoenix Dance).
Suzanne co-founded Birmingham Dance Collective (BDC) in 2007 and has created work for the NEC and New Generation Arts Festival. Suzanne performed a solo work at New Vibes 2007 which was created in collaboration with composer Attab Haddad. Suzanne will be touring in summer 2010 with The Tell Woman Collective and is currently working with Sonia Sabri her next production Kathakbox, set for touring in 2011.
