Ages: 11 years and up
Contemporary dance breaks away from the rigidity of Classical Ballet and teaches you how to express yourself using a more free style and by exploring the use of off-centre movements, bending of the spine and contractions.
Contemporary dance is very creative and inspires students to express themselves while introducing students to basic Graham and Limon technique as well the unique professional styles of our instructors.
These classes explore the concepts of body alignment, improvisation, and expression through extremes in dynamic movement, such as suspension, fall and rebound, contraction and release and the feeling of having a "grounded" foundation from which to dance.
BSD recommends that students take a core technique class in Jazz or Ballet to compliment this program.
