CONTEMPORARY
Information has not yet been updated for the September 2025-May 2026 Dance Season.
Contemporary Dance encourages self-expression and creative movement through a blend of techniques from ballet, jazz, and lyrical styles. In this class, dancers will cultivate musicality, fluidity, coordination, spatial awareness, and a strong stage presence through improvisation, combinations, and technical drills.
Dancers will learn choreography to perform in the May Showcase. Contemporary classes run September through May and are open for girls ages 7-18 (younger students by invite only). Contact us for your class assignment. Registration closes the first week of October.

There is a $25 family fee to participate in the showcase. Tickets are $5 each.
