Professional open class

Professional classes are creative and challenging; aimed to develop physical skills, technique and performance skills.

Join Lîla dancers in a professional open class. Classes begin by focusing on ease of connection between the centre and the periphery and build towards articulating the whole self through complex and athletic phrases, that send energy into the edges of the body whilst maintaining an ease and economy in effort.

There is a focus on the development of a strong core that allows for generous shifting of the centre, and dynamic transference of weight with attention to rhythmic clarity.

Through the process you will find yourself exploring a range of physical sensations that aid your performance, guided by anatomical and creative imagery. 

New monthly classes

In partnership with Worthing Theatres & Museums we are launching a new series of monthly professional classes.

“Lîla’s Professional Class challenges both your body and your mind. By the end of the session your heart and mind are working in tune together which quite simply is deeply satisfying dancing.”

— Lucy Bennett, Artistic Director, Stopgap Dance Company

We hold our open morning professional classes when we are making work in the studio. Keep an eye out on our social media or sign up to our website to find out when professional classes are happening. You can come along and dance with our current cast and creatives and learn snippets of material from our current work in development.
