Adult Contemporary Dance Classes Adelaide

Contemporary dance has evolved from the early Modern Dance Styles of the last century into a multifaceted dance form that continues to push the envelope and evolved. It has been influenced by the codified dance techniques of Martha Graham, Jose Limone, and Merce Cunningham, and expanded through the more experimental styles of Release Technique, Contact Improvisation, and Flying Low.

Contemporary dancers harness the natural momentum of movement and impact of gravity, including principles like fall and recovery, contract and release, spiral, rebound, suspend.

Now taking new dancers for our Jul to Sep quarter.

The quarter starts on Mon 29 June.
