Join our Contemporary Dance Classes and learn modern dance techniques as well as newer philosophies of movement that depart from classical dance techniques.

2. Contemporary Dance is a genre of expressive movement originally informed by and
borrowing from classical, modern, and jazz styles. It has, since its inception in the
1940’s, become one of the most popular forms of dance to date. It incorporates
elements from many styles of dance including Afro-Caribbean Japanese forms such
as Butoh (categorized as a post- World War II genre created to depict slow, somber
movements dedicated to honor the fallen).

3. Contemporary dance is said to be the offspring of modern and post-modern dance
styles. It incorporates not only fundamental ballet techniques with the leg and foot
movements, but also Modern dance’s emphasis on the torso.

4. Performers and beginner dance students alike appreciate the extreme creativity and
diversity offered by Contemporary Dance.

5. At Dancer’s Gallery, our goal is to bring forth the true innate abilities of the dancer
