The freedom contemporary dance encourages self expression and personalised stylistic choices. It generally combines the strict leg work of ballet with the upper body and the floor work of modern dance, while maintaining spontaneous changes in rhythm, speed and direction.

Students will expand their contemporary dance knowledge further through the development of a troupe, competition dance, taught by experienced, professional staff.
