“WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY DANCE?”

Contemporary dance combines elements of ballet, modern, and jazz, focusing on the contract and release of the body, unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction, incorporating floor work, fall & recovery, and improvisation. Contemporary dance provides dancers the opportunity to express emotion in a greater way through movement and breath. At New Day Dance Academy, our contemporary dance includes a strong emphasis on worship. In order to take a contemporary class, it is required to also be enrolled in a ballet class.
