Course Details

Contemporary dance is a genre that developed during the mid twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world.

Although originally developed by borrowing from classical and jazz styles, it has since come to incorporate elements from many styles of dance. Due to its technical similarities, it is often
perceived to be closely related to jazz and ballet while still being it’s very own unique genre.

Evolve teaches a Contemporary syllabus that was developed by Anne Dewy for the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance.

  • Teacher's Experience
  • I began dancing at the age of three with the Macdonald School of Dance. It soon became very clear dancing was my passion so I picked up several dance forms including Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap and Contemporary. By the age of 15 I began my teaching journey as an assistant teacher. I went on to gain four solo diploma certificates through the NZAMD syllabus and was nominated for the national competitions. In 2011 I auditioned successfully for “The Space” in Melbourne where I pursued my dance training and was soon a teaching staff member. On my return to New Zealand I continued teaching at The Macdonald School of Dance and at the beginning of 2015 I embarked on my biggest journey yet and opened Evolve Performing Arts Centre. Since then I have been blessed with amazing support from our Evolve community and have created a space where children come to let their passion fly. With almost 11 years of teaching experience I have now sat my teachers examination and gained my teaching certificate with the NZAMD. I am so grateful to go to work and do what I love everyday while being surrounded by our incredible Evolve community.
