CONTEMPORARY DANCE:
10-year-olds and older

Contemporary dance is a diverse art and sports form, that combines various dance styles and techniques, pair work, acrobatics, and creative dance expression into an interesting whole. Creativity, expression, and an experiental approach are emphasised in contemporary dance.

In the contemporary dance classes, the students learn body control, dance technique and expression, and space perception. Dance improvisation is also an essential part of contemporary dance classes. The classes improve the students’ skills in order to “ground” movements in a manner typical of contemporary dance (i.e. utilising gravity and the floor) and their ability to move in a flowing manner. The students also practice a dance performance during the classes. In the upper contemporary dance grades, the number of performance practices and performances increases.
