Contemporary Dance Classes in Madrid

Movement beyond the mat, free your body, awaken your flow.

Contemporary Dance with Lucas Chery is an invitation to rediscover your body through movement. It’s a class that fuses technique, intuition, and creative expression — designed to help you step outside of habitual patterns and into a more fluid, grounded, and liberated sense of self. Whether you’re new to dance or returning to it, this is a space where movement becomes a language of connection, awareness, and freedom.

What are Contemporary Dance Classes Like?

This class offers a blend of structured technique and improvisation, encouraging you to explore movement in a way that is both intentional and spontaneous. Through guided exercises and creative exploration, we develop a deeper sense of musicality, body awareness, and spatial presence.

You’ll be introduced to:

Contemporary dance techniques rooted in floorwork, release, and flow

Improvisation as a tool for personal expression and discovery

Movement phrases and locomotion sequences to explore rhythm and coordination

A supportive environment where pleasure, play, and embodiment are prioritized

It’s not about performance. It’s about inhabiting your body fully and allowing yourself to move with honesty and joy.
