Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) is the pioneering approach to dancing that has evolved from the simple principle that when we are releasing tension and habitual holding patterns we can move more freely, powerfullyand articulately. A considerable influence on leading choreographers and improvisational dance-makers across the world, SRT can enhance any movement style whilst fostering artistic sensibility and creative unfoldment.

In Releasing, spontaneous movement evoked by guided poetic imagery and music and sound enables a creative exploration of technical principles such as multi-direction alignment, suppleness, suspension, economy and autonomy. In the practice of Releasing, engaging the imagination and involving the whole self integrates technical growth and creative process.

Uniquely, experienced dancers study alongside beginners, each working at their own rate. Skinner Releasing is a dance class for professionals, newcomers and beginners alike: all those interested in exploring their creativity through moving.

Skinner Releasing classes, workshops and intensives are regularly taught across London and the UK at both the Introductory and Ongoing levels, whilst the technique has become part of the core training at a number of major dance institutions in Britain. Notably, Laban, Liverpool John Moores University, Middlesex University and University of Chichester.
