Contemporary is a popular dance style that combines various other dance styles and techniques in an expressive manner. Contemporary students will incorporate skills they are developing as a dancer to fully express themselves and captivate an audience with a story told through movement.

At DSi, Contemporary students explore their own creativity and celebrate the way each individual dancer moves. Contemporary is a nice mix between structured exercises, unison work and freedom of individuality. Students explore shapes, levels, musical dynamics, transitions, improvisation and new ways of moving.

We offer classes for beginners ages 9 and up. Students ages 12 and up must also take a Ballet and Jazz class at DSi.

All Contemporary classes participate in our in-studio Winter Presentation Week in January as well as on stage at our Year-End Spring Showcase. This provides two performance opportunities that teach dancers how to learn and perform choreography with confidence in front of an audience!

There are no exams in Contemporary.
