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.
Beginning to Intermediate Modern for students 11 to 18 years old is currently offered Fridays from 4:30-5:30 pm.
Modern for more Advanced students 14 years and up is offered Mondays from 4:00-5:00 pm.
*This class will begin in September 2008*
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.
