About Chunky Move

Chunky Move is one of Melbourne's most distinctive contemporary dance organisations, working from a purpose-built studio in the heart of Southbank. Known for its genre-defying choreography and ambitious productions, it is also a place where everyday people can step into movement, regardless of whether they have ever set foot in a dance studio before.

Alongside its professional works, programs and commissions, Chunky Move runs an open classes and education stream designed to make contemporary dance approachable. Newcomers regularly single out the beginner classes as welcoming and inclusive for all abilities, taught in a striking space with a warm, supportive atmosphere that takes the intimidation out of trying something new.

For anyone in Southbank looking to move differently, build body awareness and creativity, and connect with a genuine community of dancers, this is a rare combination of artistic depth and accessible practice. It is movement as expression rather than repetition, set inside one of the city's most respected dance institutions and shaped by decades of contemporary performance experience.
