MODERN & CONTEMPORARY
What IS modern dance?
​
At Acts Dance we desire to prepare well rounded dancers, firmly rooted in their ballet training, but ready for anything. We offer a progressive modern and contemporary curriculum for students beginning at age 8. As students move through the modern levels, they will experience classwork in movement fundamentals, modern dance technique, and improvisation.
Intermediate and advanced students move through a range of dance techniques with influences of Martha Graham, Lester Horton, Jose Limon, Merce Cunningham, Bill Evans, and others. Advanced dancers also study contemporary (expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical, ballet & hip hop).
​​​
Students will progress from Beginning Modern through Advanced classes upon teacher recommendation.​ You do not need to be a registered ballet student to participate in modern classes.
​
Modern students perform in Christmas Celebration week and the Spring Showcase.
