Do you want to discover how dance can transform your life and the way you express yourself?
The Contemporary Dance Classes for students aged 15 and above in Penafiel are perfect for those who wish to explore dance in a deeper, more technical, and meaningful way.

In this creative and inspiring environment, students develop intermediate and advanced technical skills, such as core control, weight transfers, floor work, and spatial awareness. Guided improvisation encourages the creation of choreographic phrases and the development of each dancer’s unique artistic identity.

Contemporary dance is also a language to tell stories and convey emotions, valuing individuality and authenticity. Classes promote collaboration in pairs and groups, building a supportive community among dancers who share the same passion.

By participating, you will strengthen both body and mind: improve strength, flexibility, mobility, and endurance, while also gaining discipline, focus, and self-confidence — skills that extend into all areas of life. It is also a healthy way to relieve stress and balance emotions, cultivating overall well-being.

2. How do these classes differ from the 12–14 age group?
A: From the age of 15 onwards, students already have the physical and cognitive maturity to explore more complex techniques, such as advanced floor work, more demanding movement dynamics, contact/weight sharing, and autonomous choreographic composition. Greater emphasis is placed on artistic interpretation and the development of an individual creative identity.
