Open Advanced Choreography Class

It has been over 6 months and I’m super excited to be back in the studio with those that are wanting to move! A little more info about the 2 offerings:

Choreography Class 3-5:

This class is aimed at intermediate/advanced dancers. We will work on a piece of choreography. The intention will be to use the material to find your own way of moving within it. We will spend time dancing it out to get in to a deeper connection with ourselves through the steps. Expect a mixture of styles, accessible for dancers from many backgrounds including hip hop and contemporary.

Freedom Dance 6-8:

I have been facilitating these ceremonial spaces for a few years now but mainly in private group sessions. I am so excited to be opening this one up to whoever feels like shaking some of the inner junk out. This session is open to absolutely anyone. There is no learning of choreography. The music as well as some prompts from me will guide you through your own personal journey - starting with meditation and some shaking followed by whatever your body tells you. The process can help to release any stuck emotions, ground you in to the present and connect you to a deeper place within. These sessions are great for integrating and embodying any altered states of being. Although, they can also be used purely for your dance improvisation practice or to simply come and celebrate life, moving your body in a held container with community. There’s really no pressure to do anything but show up with an open heart and let your body and life do its thing. I, Ricky, will be your guide - I have been guiding dance spaces for over a decade and have been working with shamanic and spiritual practices in recent years - holding space in many holistic medicine retreats which has had a big shift on my facilitation. I can offer free support after the session if anybody needs it.

Please bring water. It’s a good idea to bring a journal and a pen - a lot of people like to write or draw before/after the session and it’s much preferred than using your phone.

Please note this is not an ecstatic dance. The practice is similar but I tend to work with different types of music, guide the session in my own way and usually incorporate connections with the elements.

The location is The Manor in Finsbury Park - they are a great studio with many facilities including showers. Please see their info for more details or specific directions: https://www.themanorldn.com

Can’t afford? I always like to offer a ‘pay what you can’ (or free places) for those that need the financial support. Please message me or email me at info@companyjinks.com to set this up.

Any other questions feel free to reach out, let’s danceeeee! Much love, Ricky x
