Level 1-2 Young dancers will start to learn how to tell a story through movement. Contemporary is more of a freestyle, interpretive technique combining the techniques of ballet and jazz. Not as regimented and constrictive as a ballet class but a very disciplined technique. This beautiful, expressive style is often performed to slower, gentler music. An emotionally driven, storytelling dance form, Contemporary depends greatly on the passion and interpretation of the performer, and not just the movements themselves.
