Contemporary is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.
To maintain appropriate class size and fairness among all levels, dancers cannot enroll in a class outside of their designated class placement level without director approval; and this will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. If you have questions about this policy, please contact the studio’s front desk staff.
PLEASE NOTE – Students should enroll in the contemporary level that corresponds with their ballet level. If a dancer is not enrolled in ballet, a placement class is advised.
