Modern/Contemporary is combined as a subject with the IDTA. It is a stylish form of dance that incorporates energetic, dynamic and intricate movements, it often uses bold, dramatic body movements, including body isolations and contractions.
It's an expressive dance style which includes elements from modern jazz, lyrical and classical genres.
Contemporary dance is an extremely fluid and a very nebulous style of dance. Unlike traditions such as ballet, contemporary dance is not associated with specific dance techniques, but rather with a dance philosophy.
Contemporary classes are offered by Timms School of Dance. Students are encouraged to develop at their own pace which helps to make them feel at ease and confident, learning a new skill whilst having lots of fun, and making lots of new friends.
Contemporary is a fusion of all the dance styles from soft Lyrical style to strong Jazz. From ages 3+
