Contemporary

Contemporary is an expansive and expressive dance form, incorporating elements from several dance styles. In class, we work both on Contemporary Technique, Floorwork, and Choreography.

Week by week, we go through technical sequences to encourage fluidity, freedom of movement, and expression. Focusing on the contraction and release of the body, suspension and momentum, and release and fall.

Choreographically, we use a wide range of music and movements focusing on breath, dynamics, rhythm, speed, direction, and themes to encourage the students to express themselves freely and creatively. The body is worked hard, and the students come out smiling!
