Expression through movement

Contemporary

Floor work, release technique and expressive movement that gives dancers freedom and depth.

About the class

What contemporary is all about

Contemporary blends the discipline of ballet with the freedom of release technique, floor work and improvisation. It teaches dancers to move from the inside out and to tell a story with the whole body.

It is a favourite of pre-vocational students and a beautiful counterpart to ballet and lyrical, developing fluidity, control and genuine artistry.

What to expect

  • Grounded warm ups and release technique
  • Floor work, spirals, falls and recovery
  • Guided improvisation to develop personal movement
  • Emotive routines built towards showcases and festivals

Why it matters

What your dancer gains

  • Emotional expression and genuine artistry
  • Fluid, grounded movement and control
  • Freedom to explore their own way of moving
  • The versatility colleges and auditions look for

How they progress

Starting with release technique and floor work, students develop towards fully choreographed, emotive pieces, building the artistry that supports a pre-vocational pathway.

Amelia is one of the most talented people I have ever met. She is an amazing teacher, filled with great advice.
