Contemporary dance combines the many technical elements of classical ballet with the freedom, fluidity, and expressiveness of jazz. 
​

In our contemporary classes, students will focus on technique while learning to dance using different emotions and expressions.
​
​Because a technical background is necessary for contemporary students, it is strongly recommended that dancers also enroll in a ballet class or jazz class. These supplemental classes can help dancers move with more ease and grace. 

1st-5th Grade Contemporary 
Tuesday: 6:15-7:00 pm
Teen Contemporary
Tuesday: 
7:45-8:30 pm

Fall Registration opens August 6th!
