Contemporary classes · Menai
Explore movement, dynamics and a different way to tell a story.

The style, explained
Contemporary uses a range of movement qualities, directions and levels. Dancers explore floor work, weight, strength and changes in energy, using technical foundations to try different approaches to choreography and expression.
A contemporary piece might move from stillness to powerful travelling movement, or from standing to the floor. Dancers use these contrasts to communicate ideas on stage and learn to adapt when a choreographer asks them to move in an unfamiliar way.
