Contemporary/Lyrical

This class is perfect for those who have no experience in any dance, and those who want to try something new. Contemporary focuses heavily on improving flexibility and posture, but also on connecting one’s sense of movement and being with one’s raw emotions. The style is graceful, emotional and liberating, incorporating ballet and modern in a fusion style, but often including elements from styles as diverse as hip hop, African jazz and even Pilates. However, do not be afraid of the “mish-mash” of styles – you will be surprised at how easy it is to dance contemporary. Those who take the class will find that any movement driven from passion is appropriate.
