Intro to Contemporary: Technique & Musicality

Build a strong technical foundation while discovering how your body responds to music, rhythm, and breath. This course introduces students to essential contemporary technique inspired by modern dance styles such as Horton (shapes and strength), Graham (spirals and contractions), and Limón (breath and fall/recovery).

Dancers will learn fundamental concepts like weight shift, breath phrasing, connected pathways through the spine, and how dynamics shape movement quality. Each week includes conditioning, centre work, across-the-floor progressions, and phrase building.
We’ll apply our developing technique to choreography, working toward a short piece learned throughout the session. Students get to experience how structured contemporary technique transforms into expressive, musical performance.

Goal: To develop coordination, rhythm, contemporary alignment, and breath-driven movement while building confidence in musicality through choreography.

Who this is good for: Beginners (ages 18+) who want a clear technical roadmap for contemporary, or who enjoy learning through structure, rhythm, and choreography. Especially great for dancers transitioning from ballet or jazz, or those who want a technique-focused introduction before exploring floorwork or improvisation.
