There are no fixed rules with contemporary, you will be challenged each week. We use skills learnt from many sources including the ATOD Contemporary syllabus.
Here at Sharon Saunders Dancers (SSD) we pride ourselves on a non-competition school environment, with over 100 years of technical teaching experience. We are located close to the heart of Bendigo and provide a nurturing, safe and friendly environment for all who come and join our SSD family. Our children’s dance classes are planned utilising The Australian Teachers of Dancing syllabus.
This syllabus is internationally recognised, and individualised, to ensure children receive age appropriate training that offers a progressive, safe and rewarding technical progression. We are to have nurtured and supported students who have been with us from preschool to adulthood, and some now even teachers themselves!
Contemporary dance is a modern art form that explores technique and creativity. Contemporary classes are run for ages 8 and up and focus on alignment, safe dance practices and dance making.
In class students will warm up with stretches and strengthening exercises before moving onto dance choreography.
Classes are taught by professional teachers in a caring environment leading to students gaining excellent results in all official examinations.
Get in tune with your body in our Contemporary class! Work your way through our warm- up and stretch and discover the fundamentals of contemporary such as contract and release, suspension and fall all while transitioning smoothly through the floor.
Contemporary & Lyrical Dance uses dance techniques and methods found in ballet, and modern dance and also draws from other philosophies of movement that are outside the realm of classical dance technique.
