Contemporary dance is an expressive dance style combining modern, jazz, lyrical, and classical ballet elements. Contemporary dance focuses on an emotional connection to dance movements. Contemporary dancers are unique storytellers who share their creative self-expression through the dances they present. Modern dance classes contain contract and release skills, improvisation, floorwork, jumps, turns, and a focus on developing each dancer’s personal artistry. Popularized on dance TV shows, these styles allow students to explore their self-expression, build their confidence, and truly feel their dance.
