Intermediate/Advanced Contemporary

The class will begin with a center warm up consisting of roll downs and flat backs, contraction and release, fall and recovery, shifting body weight using gravity, various balances, and a focus on the percussive strokes of the music.

Class then progresses across the floor with movement phrases, turns, single-foot arch springs (jumps from one foot) and falls. Individual interpretation and performance skills will be emphasized through the technical framework. Contemporary dance is a great class to take in preparation for summer dance programs, performing arts high schools, college auditions and professional company auditions.
