Contemporary Dance

Contemporary dance is characterised by its versatility: Contemporary can be danced to almost any style of music. It can be combined with other dance forms to create new styles of movement. Contemporary attempts to work with the natural alignment of the student’s body, and is therefore safe and accessible for beginners. At the same time, the ease of movement promoted by contemporary dance techniques allows experienced dancers to push new boundaries of body movement.
