NEW Beginning Modern
Modern is a form of dance that is very grounded in movement, incorporating clean and unique lines and shapes while focusing on expressive and emotional performance. Modern dance allows the dancer to showcase different textures of movement from sharp or jerky to long and soft, thus demonstrating the contraction and expansion of the body. This challenges the dancer to learn how to switch between these various textures, requiring significant strength and flexibility to create dynamic and rhythmic performances. Though it can sometimes be looked at as a byproduct of ballet dance, modern was developed to go against the norm of ballet by creating more natural and grounded movement as opposed to the more weightless and graceful qualities that are achieved in ballet.
Beginning modern focuses on the introduction to the Horton technique, which consists of specific exercises that help the student become more aware of their body and how to connect movement through the space while increasing their strength and stability.

Intermediate/Advanced Modern
Modern is a form of dance that is very grounded in movement, incorporating clean and unique lines and shapes while focusing on expressive and emotional performance. Modern dance allows the dancer to showcase different textures of movement from sharp or jerky to long and soft, thus demonstrating the contraction and expansion of the body. This challenges the dancer to learn how to switch between these various textures, requiring significant strength and flexibility to create dynamic and rhythmic performances. Though it can sometimes be looked at as a byproduct of ballet dance, modern was developed to go against the norm of ballet by creating more natural and grounded movement as opposed to the more weightless and graceful qualities that are achieved in ballet.
Intermediate/Advanced modern continues their Horton based training while integrating other forms of modern dance, like Graham and release techniques, to create more dynamic and challenging movement and performance. This level allows the students to focus on increasing their expression through their movement and showcasing multiple textures of movement cohesively to increase their level of performance.
