contractions as well as movements having swinging quality. For contemporary dancers to be prepared,
they are first asked to undergo a ballet class. Yet, this does not mean that dancers should undergo
formal ballet training. Contemporary dance does not only enhance the strength of the dancer, but this
also increases one’s flexibility.
