Contemporary Dance

Introducing Xoe Way

Xoe is a dancer and dance teacher studying at Chantry School of Contemporary and Balletic Arts, the official school of Chantry Dance Company. I have been dancing for 18 years, the last four of which in full-time professional training. Additionally, I have been fortunate enough to benefit from the expert teaching of professionals from Northern Ballet, Pineapple, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Matthew Bourne’s dance company and world class choreographers and dancers at Jacob’s Pillow in Massachusetts.

I have been teaching for four years, including ballet, limbering and conditioning as well as contemporary. In July 2019 I passed my IDTA Level 3 Qualification and am currently working towards my IDTA Level 4 Teachers qualification, which will be completed in the coming year. I am also proud to be head of the ‘outreach’ projects for Chantry, organising performances and choreographing dance pieces for various special venues, including children’s hospitals and care homes

Each 45-minute class incorporates enjoyable, rewarding and valuable elements of contemporary and will focus on individual needs and benefits, designed to be both fun and suitably challenging.   

The junior class will be available to dancers aged 9-11/12, and the senior class will be available from 12 upwards. These are indicative age ranges; each dancer will be considered on an individual basis.
