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 style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including jazz and classical ballet. Originally, "contemporary dance" referred to the movement of new dancers who did not want to follow strict classical ballet and lyrical dance forms.
Contemporary dance was born in the mid 20th Century, breaking free from the strict structure of classical ballet. Expect to find new ways to move your body and different ways to express yourself through dance.
We also offer Contemporary and Lyrical classes. Most of our junior ballet students choose to do the Contemporary / Lyrical class and our major students have Contemporary included in the full Ballet course. The students have performed some beautiful numbers in our end of year concert.
Contemporary dance works towards connecting the mind and body of the dancer, while using narrative and stimulus to develop ideas to initiate movement and choreography.
Designed by ex-Ballet dancers this style is still technical but with much more focus on rounded shapes, floorwork, grounded movements, and expressiveness. Unlike the “prettier” Ballet style, Contemporary Dance can be unexpected and unusual but is still powerful and captivating.
