Contemporary Dance

Queens’ College Contemporary Dance Society is an excellent way to explore dance without even having to leave college! Queens’ are very lucky to have professional dancer in residence Adele Thompson who teaches the society’s classes. Adele studied at Cambridge University and London Contemporary Dance School and works as an independent dancer, choreographer, stilt artist and teacher. Dance technique classes are held every Friday during term time in the Fitzpatrick Hall: Beginners – 2:30-4pm and Intermediate – 4:30-6pm. On Saturdays there is a creative choreography class: 10am-12:30pm. There is no membership fee and classes are free for members of Queens’ College.

The society holds an annual performance ‘Sprung!’ at the end of Lent term offering the opportunity for students to bring their own choreography to a friendly audience. The performance is always very successful and well received. There is also the opportunity to get involved in the committee who help with the general running of the society and organise ‘Sprung!’. This is a great experience and offers the chance to develop new and existing creative and administrative skills.
