CONTEMPORARY
About Our Contemporary Dance Class
At Brookes Dance Academy, our Contemporary class gives students aged 8 to 18 the opportunity to explore one of dance's most expressive and creative genres. Having evolved from Modern Dance into a genre in its own right, Contemporary encourages students to move beyond set technique and discover their own artistic voice.
In class, students are introduced to core Contemporary principles — including contract and release, spiral, floor work, improvisation, and fall and recovery — building a strong technical foundation while developing the freedom to interpret and express movement in their own way.
As students progress, they gain not only technical skill but also confidence in creative decision-making, emotional expression, and individual artistry — qualities that support their growth across all styles of dance.
Suitable for: Ages 8–18
