Contemporary ​ages 8+
​1hr


Contemporary, or Modern dance is a less defined technique that encourages creativity and individuality. Sometimes a story is told through the movement while other times the choreographer is working with an abstract idea. We provide a complete syllabus to advance students through the pre-professional level. Several of our graduates have gone on to major in dance and /or dance professionally. Although contemporary is a less restrictive style, a strong ballet foundation is needed to be successful in the technique.
