Contemporary

Service Description

Contemporary is a popular style that draws movement from ballet, jazz and modern dance. Unlike other more structured forms of dance, contemporary movements are generally intended to be performed with breath and a release of the body’s core. It also includes strong extensions, jumps, floor work, and improvisation. Contemporary often expresses strong emotions, like love, joy or anger. It can be graceful, seamlessly telling a story or it can be abstract in form. Contemporary is offered to students ages 9-18 and has a prerequisite of ballet.
