Stretch & Strengthen

In addition, students will work on improving posture, increasing flexibility and range of motion and strengthening the muscles.

Contemporary/ Modern

 Contemporary dance uses elements from many forms of dance such as ballet, jazz, and lyrical to name a few. Contemporary dance stresses versatility and improvisation and dancers focus on floor work and body isolations. It’s all about the body’s natural lines and energy. One of the attributes that attracts dancers to this genre of dance is its use of not only many styles of dance, but also variety of music.  Modern Dance  is centered on the foundations of modern dance technique, including suspension and release, fall and recovery, the use of momentum and connecting breath with movement. Dancers will explore new ways of moving in combinations, floor work and partnering, and also in various methods of improvisation.
