Lyrical and Contemporary Dance

Contemporary Dance is a style of dance that emerged in the 20th century as an outgrowth of modern dance and other 20th century dance techniques. Unlike traditions such as Ballet, contemporary dance is not associated with specific dance techniques, but rather with a dance philosophy. This style of dance often involves a great deal of playing with balance, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation.
In contemporary dance classes, students learn to use their bodies in a variety of ways, and they focus on breathing, posture, and emotional state to establish a mind-body connection.
