Experience Movement In Motion

Think fusion. Think emotion. Think explosive but also controlled. Think lyrical. Think using AND also breaking the rules of ‘traditional’ ballet and jazz and hip hop and creating your own style! Contemporary dance is a true combination of various dance and music styles/genres all working together to create a connected mind/body/movement story. Dancers get to explore and find new possibilities for movement, and participants are an active part of the choreographic process, weaving together their own movement vocabulary into beautiful and emotional performances. This style does require prior dance experience in other styles so there is a foundation from which to build and create. Dancers who are also interested in teaching and choreographing will find this style particularly inviting and invigorating!
