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 based on classical foundations with an edgy and earthy vibe. This class combines strong centre and precision leg work with an ease and fluidity in the torso. A great class to gain technique, strength and flexibility.
Contemporary allows you to explore boundaries. It is recommended that you pair this with Ballet.
This style provides an extension to the classical technique and students must be enrolled in ballet classes to qualify for training in contemporary at HDA.
The goal of this class is to help you build your confidence and dance vocabulary in a fun and accessible way.
Classes will include technique such as extensions, turns, floor work and jumps. In addition students will learn choreography combinations and explore improve.
