Contemporary

Contemporary dance takes the technical training that dancers receive in their ballet class and uses it to create new movements by fusing it with other styles of dance. Dancers will start in a lyrical class where they learn to soften their ballet movements while still keeping it as a foundation before progressing into contemporary class. During weekly classes, dancers will work on leaps, turns, transitions, and overall technique while being challenged to take different improvisational elements and create their own movement throughout the class, which may also include partner work and contact exercises. We offer Contemporary classes for ages 11 and up, as well as Contemporary Ballet for our Elite dancers.
