Open Professional Workshop

27 Jan

In the lead up to our performance of Pillar to Post at Resolution! on the 15th February, Joon are opening the studio door to professional dancers.

Curious?

If you fancy a dancey Sunday, with a release based class, a bit of impro and a creative workshop exploring text and voice in movement- come down! Emphasis is on a relaxed approach and feeling comfortable to experiment.

Workshop is totally free of charge.

Sunday 12th February 3pm-6pm- The Place

Any dancers with an interest in working with Joon Dance in the future are particularly welcome.

Booking may not be essential, but would be appreciated :)
