Modern
Modern dance compliments ballet and jazz technique because it builds core strength, increases the height of a dancer’s jump and challenges the dancer to move through space with different movements and various levels. Modern dance will help the dancer to become aware of different styles of movements that could be incorporated into contemporary ballet. It also helps with the ability to quickly learn combinations and refine musicality.
Our Modern Program, ages 10 and up, begins with learning the basics of Lester Horton’s Modern Technique, and as the class progresses other techniques will be introduced such as Graham and Cunningham. The Modern dance form is very compatible to Ballet and Jazz and compliments a dancer’s training through broadening their knowledge of repertoire, technique and vocabulary.
