Laban

'Without the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.' That's what TS Eliot said on the matter, and though we're unsure exactly what he meant we are inclined to agree. Down at the new Laban dance centre every conceivable aspect of dancing is catered for and taught by experts in first-rate surroundings and facilities. Look on the website for details or if you are in the area drop in and have a chat.

This is an independent dance training school, which also presents student performances, graduation shows and regular pieces by its resident troupe, Transitions, as well as other assorted dance, music and physical performances. Its stunning around 22 home was designed by Tate Modern's architects, Herzog & de Meuron.
