Beginner Contemporary Class

Contemporary dance combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical & classical ballet. This dance style aims to connect the mind & the body to facilitate safe use of the body. Choreographic material ranges from soft & fluid to more strong & dynamic in movement.

The style of modern dance class is generally influenced by the style of the teacher and their choreography. Modern dance is a wonderfully flexible and open style of dance that can be tailored to suit the style, abilities and personality of the people in the class.
