Contemporary

This specialised form of dance is growing within NZ dance schools. We believe it is ideally suited to the age group of 9yrs & over. Contemporary dance explores the body and the way it moves, develops technical awareness & to express music and movement through Contemporary dance. It can be a very physical and emotive form of dance.  Students learn to experiment with weight, gravity, and momentum. From this the understanding of movement and creativity develops. It is fluid, dynamic and the dancers learn to think outside the ‘box’, and it works well with other genres, especially Ballet, Jazz & Modern.
