Venue: The London Studio Centre, 42 - 50 York Way, London N1 9AB (adjacent to Lincoln Lounge)
Cuban Contemporary Dance Triple Bill with Shelly Maxwell, Thursday 16, 23 & 30 June, 7.30pm – 9pm (class registration 7pm – 7.25pm)
Shelley's class is a fast paced Cuban technique class merging elements of la technica Cubana with her own unique contemporary flavour. The Cuban technique is loosely rooted in the Graham technique and through additional inclusions of undulations and spinal manipulations forces the dancer to master the shifting of weight through space. The class is highly physical with challenging exercises in the centre and travelling sequences that demand a sense of attack and musical dynamism. The class culminating in a challenging movement sequence to end.
