In terms of the focus of its technique, contemporary dance tends to combine the strong and

Unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction are often used in Contemporary dance.
Aligning with our value of Safe Dance Practice, we enforce a ‘Prerequisite policy’ to attend a
Contemporary class. To participate in class, students must also participate in one of our technique
classes to form the basic alignment and placement of the body before attempting abstract
movements. The classes they can do for this, are any Jazz or Ballet Classes (ie Comdance Jazz, or
Ballet Technique, etc).
