Pro Class with Penny Chivas
This is our co-run weekly, morning contemporary class with Barrowland Ballet, for the professional dance community in Glasgow on Thursdays and Fridays. The classes began in 2018 in response to the lack of professional-level contemporary dance classes in the city, providing a space for independent dance artists to come together to train and sustain practice. View the full Autumn 2026 schedule.

THURSDAY
We will work through improvisational scores into set material with an emphasis on moving through space on varying levels and travelling. "Dancers are space eaters" - Sarah Miller (after Susan Sontag)
FRIDAY
In this class, we'll move alone and together looking a ways to both warm-up our body and our attention, finding detail inside our larger movements before opening into open group compositions. Some time to focus internally, some time to play and some time to come together to dance.
