About
A beginner level contemporary class, with new exercises every term and building on a short phrase at the end of class. Contemporary dance is a term encompassing a variety of techniques and styles closely related to ballet, modern dance, and jazz dance.

Early pioneers straying away from the classical ballet system include Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham. Contemporary acknowledges the presence of the body in space, gravity in relation to the floor and detailed articulation of the spine.

Movement qualities such as fall and suspension, release, rebound, flow can be enjoyed to a variety of fun music in this class comprising ballet warm up technique exercises into dynamic sequences, which jumps and travels across the floor. This hour session has a large focus on contemporary technique which will train the body and build skills. These techniques and skills are absolutely necessary leading up to jumps and lifts to make sure no injuries occur.

There is also elements to occasionally explore creative choreographic exercises such as guided improvisation and the option to work towards some performances.

Who is it for?
Adults of all levels.
