Contemporary

Academy
Cavod
  • Intermediate/Advanced
  • 12 yrs & up
  • Dance
  • Modern

Contemporary encompasses different elements of modern, ballet, jazz, and hip hop. It plays a role in both the commercialized dance world and the fine art dance world, ranging from lyric-driven to abstract movement. It is athletic and often focuses on the use of long extensions, turns, and daring tricks that often transition to and from the floor. The students will largely focus on phrase work and building off of choreography from week to week.

**Students must be enrolled in Modern 3 and Ballet 3 or higher to participate in Contemporary.

We offer two Visitor’s Weeks each year where friends and family are invited into our rooms to observe class. You can come in person or virtually, but classroom visits may only take place during these two weeks. During classes, we invite you to enjoy our café or playroom while you wait for your child.
You know we do! We offer several options for summer camps in the arts! Kids camps, musical theatre camps, dance intensive training, a camp for teens and young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities… and more! All the HOT summer info is HERE!

Well, we don’t have “Performing Arts” in our name for nothing! Dance and Acro classes perform in the Spring Dance Concert in June. In addition to selling tickets to that off-site performance, there is a costume fee between $70-$95 per class due in the fall and we do a fundraiser to help offset the costs for you.
