LEVEL 3A/4 MODERN - Tu 5-6 (StudioZ)
Modern 3/4 dance classes explore highly expressive, freeform and improvisational movements that challenge the structured technique of classical ballet. The focus of modern dance is expression, rather than following a rigid set of postures or technical positions like those used in ballet. Modern dance movements are considered freeform and fluid, and are often inspired by other dance styles like African dance, ballet, and folk dance. Though modern dance technique is considered more relaxed and natural than ballet, it can require considerable core work and strength. Rather than striving for the weightlessness and grace of ballet, modern dancers use their body weight to propel themselves across the floor, often falling, tumbling, or rolling to express rhythm.
THIS CLASS MAY ONLY BE TAKEN IN COMBINATION WITH BALLET 4.

LEVEL 5/6 MODERN - Tu 7-8 (StudioZ)
Modern 5/6 classes explore highly expressive, freeform and improvisational movements that challenge the structured technique of classical ballet. The focus of modern dance is expression, rather than following a rigid set of postures or technical positions like those used in ballet. Modern dance movements are considered freeform and fluid, and are often inspired by other dance styles like African dance, ballet, and folk dance. Though modern dance technique is considered more relaxed and natural than ballet, it can require considerable core work and strength. Rather than striving for the weightlessness and grace of ballet, modern dancers use their body weight to propel themselves across the floor, often falling, tumbling, or rolling to express rhythm.
THIS CLASS MAY ONLY BE TAKEN IN COMBINATION WITH BALLET 5/6.
Class Length: 60 min
Class Requirements: Age 12+. Placement class required. Prerequisite: Level 4+ or Instructor permission. Multiple classes are required at this level; please see the Preparatory Division Level Requirements or contact the Director at info@christiandancealliance for more information.
Dress Code: Black leotard, pink or tan convertible tights, and contemporary shoes are required. Socks and bare feet will also be requested. Hair pulled off the face and secured neatly in a bun.
