A Contemporary Dance Syllabus built on creativity
Contemporary develops children’s creativity by allowing them to have their own input in different aspects of the course, develop choreography to fit their own storyline, learn how to improvise and create original choreography.
They do this while employing several elements of traditional Contemporary dance techniques such as Cunningham, Graham and Limon, and fusions of brand new techniques.
There are many methods to training in contemporary dance; through following the course, many of the components from these methods are taught – Release, fall and recovery, direction changes, isolations, core strengthening, connecting with the floor and improvisation.
As the UK’s most up-and-coming dance style used by most choreographers, contemporary dance training is a major component that all dancers should attain for their future.
Our contemporary dance classes run on a Thursday 3.45-4.15 for Minis/Juniors, and a Friday from 17.30-18.15 for seniors. To come along for your free trial session, please email: enquiries@thedanceacademy.org !
