“ I attended Tania’s contemporary technique release- based classes in South London for six months. She made the class very enjoyable. She was very patient at explaining her technique, and often provided visualisation cues to help with the movement. She also adapted the class to whoever was attending. I would highly recommend you attend one of her classes. “

“I had a really good time at my class with Tania. She is a really energetic teacher and taught me many cool moves I never thought about before. It’s a great class and my body felt really good afterwards.“

Teaching material & history
My teaching practice centers on contemporary dance, movement research and choreographic facilitation. Grounded in a somatic and holistic approach, my classes blend technical training with creative exploration.
Core Specialisms: Release Technique, Floor Work, Contact Improvisation, and Creative/Choreographic Practice.
Somatic influences: Experimental Anatomy, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Laban Movement Analysis, and experiences in Shin Somatics, Skinner Releasing Technique, Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering (BMC), and Fascia research.
Martial Arts, Energy and Body Practices: Infused with principles of Aikido, Tai Chi and Chi Gung. Nourished by more than two year Yoga and some Kung Fu practice, and one year-and-a-half study of Shiatsu including Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Technical Heritage & Continued Training: In addition to all of the above, my training is built upon extensive foundational training in classical Ballet alongside historic modern lineages, including Cunningham, Graham, and Limón techniques. My ongoing professional development includes dives into various contemporary techniques, such as Axis Syllabus, Flying Low, Passing Through, as well as Capoeira, African dance and House.
Teaching & Academic Experience
Since 2005, I have designed inclusive classes and curricula spanning all age groups and skill levels, including: Professional dancers, aspiring vocational dance students, carer and toddler groups (from age 3), youth, teenager, and adult classes, senior citizens and community dance, and classes for people with learning difficulties.
Professional & Company Classes: Taught professional-level training and workshops internationally at Trois C-L (Luxembourg), The Firkin Crane (Ireland), Y-Space (Hong Kong), and the George Apostu Cultural Centre (Romania).
Community Shared Practices: co-facilitated peer-led sessions for Exit Map, co-leading Shared Training and Shared Practice for professional dancers across London venues including TripSpace (Haggerston), The Green (Nunhead), and The Old Tidemill School (Deptford).
Institutional & Community Settings: Instructed at the Conservatoire de la Ville de Luxembourg (2017), alongside extensive work in primary and secondary schools, private academies, and council-funded initiatives across London and Luxembourg.
Inclusive & Accessible Dance: Taught specialised dance classes for adults with learning difficulties within the Progress Department at City Lit in London (2015–2017).
Higher Education: Delivered some technique classes during my BA (Hons) and within the postgraduate dance company programs.
Youth & Assistant Roles: Supported early-years education assisting children’s dance classes at Laban (2003, 2015) and the Greenwich Dance Agency (2006).
