About
Modern & Contemporary dance incorporates free natural movements while still using the technique and structure from Ballet and or Jazz. Contemporary dance originated in the 20th century as a reaction against the rigid techniques of Ballet. Martha Graham and Isadora Duncan were famous for their ease of movement using the body’s natural lines and energy. This unique type of dance creates a language with the use of posture, bodyweight, and movements. Contemporary dance allows a greater range and fluidity of movement in comparison to conventional dance techniques. Contemporary and Modern dance can be performed to almost any type of music and can have a vast range of styles depending on the choreographer and the dancer. This mature style of dance while safe for even the beginner dancer, also allows the more advanced dancer to explore new body movement and push themselves to new boundaries. Students wishing to attend these classes are required to take Ballet.
Classes available for ages 10 to adult.
