Modern is a style of theatrical dance that favors the natural movement of the body derived from the expression of inner feeling. Its technique is based on principles of fall and recovery, contraction and release and also includes elements of chance and improvisation.

Modern is most beneficial when taken with or as a supplement to a ballet class.  All foundational dance movements, body alignment, balance, and coordination are built upon in a ballet class.

Please Contact the Scripps Ranch Office for Questions Regarding Modern Classes.

Any dancer with professional ballet or jazz aspirations, should have some experience with Modern as the repertoire of dance companies today requires dancers to be well versed in a number of dance styles.
