Course Details

The style can be traced back to the 20th century, when American dancer Isadora Duncan abandoned ballet in favour of developing a more fluid method of dancing. She cited the ocean as the spring of inspiration for her personal style of movement. She believed the solar plexus was the source of all movement.  The solar plexus consists of a cluster of nerves in the upper middle region of the abdomen and the 120 muscles that support the spine.

Contemporary dance combines the strict legwork of ballet with the torso and floorwork of modern dance. Contemporary covers a broad range of styles. Today contemporary is often closely linked to styles such as rock and roll, hip hop, electro and jazz.
