Contemporary dance is very interpretive in its choreography and often focuses on emotions or storytelling. Contemporary can be balletic or abstract, jazz-influenced or lyrical, structured or unconventional.

It has a freedom of movement that is very different to other styles and often uses a lot of floor work. Please note that it is a requirement for students to participate in at least one other class at Aspire in order to participate in contemporary – this is to ensure students have the strength and technique to keep up with our challenging contemporary classes.
Aspire Dance Academy was established in 2011. The dance school has built a reputation for excellence in student achievement through dance examination results and performances.

Several students have been selected for the Australian Ballet School’s prestigious Interstate Training Program.
Contemporary Dance Is a Style That Focuses on Self-Expression, Creativity and Inner Feelings
Contemporary, or modern dance, is a classically based style that explores new types of movement to portray an intention or display the abilities of the human body.
The modern expressive syllabus taught enhances each students own musicality & natural emotion for lyrical music. The art of contemporary dance produces a strong controlled dancer with a keen concept of phrase changes in a musical piece.
Class uses modern & ballet technique that explores different contemporary styles, including 'Release' technique.    Â
Contemporary dance rejects a lot of the strict rules that are part of ballet, instead, focusing on the expression of movement and emotions within the music.
