Contemporary

(Wednesdays)

Contemporary uses the lyrics of a song or instrumental music to inspire certain movements.

Contemporary uses gestures, facial expressions, and controlled movements in order to execute movements and emotions fully. Besides emotional connection to music, contemporary encourages use of articulation, line, weight, and movement qualities.

Contemporary choreography uses ballet, modern, and jazz, but it does not have the exactness of those techniques. Most contemporary dancers will develop extreme strength, control and ease in their movements.

Great energy and stamina are needed to perform contemporary.

Contemporary pieces are based on a story, whether it is the dancer's personal experience, or the choreographer's story. A story is portrayed through the choice of music and expression on the dancer's face and through the movement.

The choreography is determined by the attitudes and perceptions of the dancer and choreographer. Dancers will learn to portray feelings of passion, pain, joy, sadness, fear, or anger when dancing.

Hip Hop Dance for Children & Adults

Mondays

Hip hop dance refers to dance styles, mainly street dance styles, primarily danced to hip hop music, or that have evolved as a part of the hip hop culture.

Hip-Hop dance has over 25 years of history first breaking into the movies in 1982.

It has even become a lifestyle: a way to be active in physical fitness; a hobby; or competitive dance-style.
