Contemporary

Contemporary Dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including Street, Modern, Jazz, Lyrical and Classical Ballet.

Breaking away from classical dance, the Contemporary dance we know today is an eclectic mix of countless dance styles, fused together to form an expressive art that is becoming increasingly popular in modern day. What we consider ‘technique’ in Contemporary derives from multiple dancers and choreographers, most of whom used their ability to break the boundaries of ‘classical’ dance. In our Contemporary classes, we aim to give students the correct technique and skills to enable them to experiment with their own style and express what they want to express. This will involve elements of technique training and theory which will allow students to learn different pieces of choreography and recreate them. Contemporary requires strength, flexibility and most importantly expression, all of which will be learned and acquired in this class.
