About the course
This class blends the structure of a traditional ballet class with the expressive range of contemporary dance. You’ll start at the barre for foundational technique, then move into centre work that explores more dynamic and creative movement.
Unlike classical ballet, contemporary ballet includes freer use of the upper body, arms that aren’t bound by traditional lines, and greater use of weight, swing, and momentum. Movements draw from classical, neoclassical, and contemporary styles.
This class does not include floorwork, making it a great option if you prefer to stay standing throughout. It’s ideal if you want the precision and technique of ballet with more freedom, expression, and contemporary edge. Best suited to Level 3+ dancers with solid ballet experience (typically 3+ years).
