Contemporary.

Contemporary dance expands on the technique and movements learned in ballet.  Growing in popularity over the last decade, the contemporary style aims to push dancers, and their movement, in new directions.  Experimentation and improvisation often play a large part in creating contemporary movement.  Understanding how your body moves through space,  shifting of weight and momentum, floor work and overall body strength and control all play a critical role in this style of dance.  This class encourages dancers to feel their movement from within and share that feeling thru performance. Dancers must be enrolled in ballet of the same level in order to enroll in this class. For example, Ballet III students can enroll in Contemporary III.
