CONTEMPORARY
Whereas ballet and jazz teach you to pull up, contemporary dance teaches how to release, relax and loosen up the body.
The genre of Contemporary Dance is an energetic, exciting one that includes a number of different styles. It an art which encourages the use of the body’s natural abilities – breath, internal energy, its relationship with gravity – to create fluid movement and beautiful lines and shapes.
"Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made." Ted Shawn
