Expressive Contemporary Dance Classes

Contemporary Classes at PSPA
-------------- For ages 6+
Contemporary dance is a powerful and expressive style that blends elements of modern, jazz, lyrical, and classical ballet. Dancers explore floorwork, breath and body awareness, suspension, momentum, improvisation, contract and release, and artistic storytelling through movement. This versatile style encourages creativity, emotional expression, and individuality while strengthening technique and performance quality. Contemporary classes are typically performed barefoot and set to a wide variety of music styles.
Advanced Contemporary
Placement required.
Students work with the blended style of dance known as contemporary, but take its movement vocabulary from jazz, lyrical and ballet studies. Students will strive to connect the mind and body movement through movement.
