Classes
Fine Lines is a community that engages in contemporary dance practices that challenge, inspire and positively nourish dancers as artists. Fine Lines pedagogy is constantly evolving, responsive to changes and developments in style, teaching innovations and the needs of the dancers enrolled in classes. As the contemporary landscape shifts, as bodies change and as practice opens up new horizons, we shift and morph as well, ever alive to new possibilities.
Please note that for safe dance, pedagogy and artistic reasons, participation in Fine Lines productions or special opportunities requires dancers to engage regularly in either Friday or Tuesday classes.
Fine Lines Tuesday 10 - 11.30 am.
Fine Lines is the entry point to all things Fine Lines, a unique philosophical and pedagogical approach to dance and dance making. Through technical contemporary movement practices and creative explorations dancers learn to appreciate and luxuriate in their dancing body of today. Fine Lines Foundations is the first step or a gentle continuation in your journey to develop your capacity as a mature dancer and artist as dancers and as artist. Anyone from Fridays may attend, but this class essentially takes its time to drill down into the FL philosophical and pedagogical approach to dance and dance making.

Fine Lines Friday 10 - 11.30 am.
On Fridays, class is at an intermediate level. We work to fine tune awareness, strength, balance, coordination, musicality, memory, creativity and artistry. We use varied styles and approaches such as improvisation, a range of contemporary, ballet and release techniques including somatic approaches. This class includes floor work.
All classes are at Dancehouse 150 Princes St, Carlton North, VIC, unless otherwise stated. At times Dancehouse availability is limited by in-house productions which require us to find alternative spaces. In 2026 the alternative space for Friday classes is Fleming Park Hall, 102 Victoria Street, Brunswick East, VIC.

2027 fee increase
In 2027 class fees will rise by $5 to $20 a class if paying for the term and $25 if attending casually. It has been a long time since the last increase from $10 to $15 but the cost of venue hire is going up, as is every other cost. So enjoy this low low fee until the end of the year!

A bit about our training:
Fine Lines focuses on inclusion and developing a pedagogy where every body has equal access to movement propositions.
While several Fine Lines dancers were professional dancers or professionally trained, many others come from diverse movement backgrounds such as yoga, pilates, creative dance, improvisation, physical theatre and circus.
Classes develop skills that all dancers need: proprioception, kinesthetic and spatial awareness, balance, control, agility, articulation, flexibility, co-ordination, strength, endurance, memory, musicality, creative expression and artistry, while pushing our dancers creatively to discover, invent or interpret ideas.
As founder and lead teacher, Katrina continually reviews her teaching practice so that it is accessible while developing technical skills, at an individual level, listening to the body, attending to its needs and following personal curiosity.
