Children & Youth Classes
These creative weekly dance sessions adopt a person-centred approach to dance, using music and props. The dancers will work individually, in small groups or as a whole to explore many aspects of dance. The emphasis will be on sharing and having fun! Classes ranging from 5-18 year olds
Specialised & Outreach
We run a variety of specialised classes based in Glasgow for specific age ranges and abilities throughout the week. These classes run at different locations and throughout the year.
Our outreach classes are outside Glasgow for children, youths and families running in terms.
Hybrid Classes
With the transition back to in-person classes, we are now running sessions where our online and in-person members can join together and be in the same session. Our online members can join us on zoom and be on the screen as our tutors take the class in a studio with our in-person members.
Online Classes
Our online classes are free for anyone to join! We run our online classes 5 days a week via the platform zoom, and have classes for adults and children. Alongside our regular dance classes, we have a yoga and coffee morning class on offer too. To join, please contact bruce.mclean@indepen-dance.org.uk
