Contemporary 

As an expressive form of dance, Contemporary is deeply rooted in Modern Dance with elements of Ballet and Jazz.  This style of dance demands strong athleticism, natural use of the body, fluid movements and heavy floorwork.  Its unpredictability allows for freedom of movement and the ability to connect with the melody of music rather than the words.  Students learn core stability, use of breath, and self exploration.

Our students are dedicated, recreational dancers of all ages and experience.

Maybe this would be the first dance class for yourself or your child.

Perhaps you have prior dance experience but have been looking for a studio whose instruction matches your creative style.

Maybe you “aged-out” of your current dance company. Dancers often feel lost when they turn 18 and have graduated high school. Unless your college focus is dance or you’ve gone pro, there often isn’t a studio designed for you. 

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO DANCE WITH US!

The future of our studio… We are focused on continuing to build a safe and opportunistic community for recreational dancers of all ages, blending the love of dance into everyday life.
