Modern (Beginning at age 11)
Modern is a contemporary dance
form that has its roots in Ballet. However, as opposed
to Ballet, Modern has a different , freer, more
self-defining approach to dance that utilizes more
natural movement. The movement vocabulary and range
of motion used is endless and creative and draws on each
student's personal expression. Classes include
floor and standing work in the styles of Martha Graham,
Doris Humphrey and Lester Horton. Improvisation and
creative exercises are also incorporated into class.
* Modern students are encouraged
to study Ballet.
"I can
see dance being used as communication between body and
soul, to express what is too deep, too fine for words."....Ruth
St. Denis
