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. 

3rd-5th Grade Contemporary
2024-2025 SCHEDULE TBA​
