ABSOLUTE BEGINNER CONTEMPORARY
Join Bo for an introductory level session designed for those brand new to dance or contemporary. Expect to meet new friends, try something a little different each week, and dip your toes into the art of contemporary dance with lots of laughs along the way! Drop-ins welcome ✨

The short class duration and simplicity of material make this a perfect drop-in class and a stepping stone to try more classes with MING MVMT or elsewhere in the city.
Includes:
90-minute class
Targeted Warm-Up
Simple centre practice for technical foundations
Short combo - different each week!

Absolute Beginner is perfect for ANYONE who is interested in trying contemporary dance! No previous experience is needed in any style. Class moves gently, which also makes it a great starting point for those looking to begin moving their bodies in service of self-expression and exploration.

BEG/INT
LYRICAL(ish)
Lyrical(ish) leans into story-focused choreography to pop songs across genres and decades to focus on self-expression and feel-good movement.
These classes are perfect for those who grew up dancing and miss the studio, the magic, the friendships, and the feels. And all who wish to experience the above in adulthood because it’s never too late to dance. 💛
Drop-ins welcome!

Includes:
90-minute class

BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE
This is your level if:
You primarily train in other styles (heels, jazz funk, pole, etc.) and want to strengthen technical elements including leg lines, turns, balance, alignment/posture, and jumps
You take multiple drop-in dance classes a week and excel at picking-up/following along with choreography, but struggle to fully/safely execute technical elements
You are a former recreational or part-time competitive dancer who misses the environment, community, and practice of technique class
Dancers in this level likely:
Opt for a balance in rétiré or single pirouette
Feel most comfortable in first or second position
Keep most extensions below 90 degrees
DANCE THAT
HEALS, CONNECTS
& EMPOWERS
We believe in the power of dance to improve mental and physical well-being, foster community and interpersonal connection, and build self-trust and confidence.

Frequently asked questions

-
Our Tuesdays night classes are often available on a drop-in basis and run from 6:00 - 7:15PM.
-
Currently, we rent space from a mix of venues to run our programs and classes. We are most frequently at Dovercourt House (a 5-minute walk from Ossington Station) up on the 3rd floor.
Know a space that could become our permanent home or interested in helping us expand our operations? Drop us a line: hello@mingbolam.com We'd love to hear your thoughts!

For 6-Week Progressives, you will receive videos in the group chat of any choreography done that day. For ALL programs and offerings, please note that there are NO CREDITS offered for unattended classes under any circumstances and all purchases are non-refundable. For Performance Programs, missed classes may result in removal from sections of the dance in efforts to ensure the pacing of the program remains on track. For The Creation Lab, attendance carries higher stakes due to the fast paced nature of the program, the professional level, and impact of your absence on others. As such, attendance is strongly encouraged and the responsibility to catch up on any missed time/material falls soley to you 🙏🏼
