ADD Modern and Contemporary
Modern dance is an evolution of Classical Ballet so works really well alongside our ballet classes. The emphasis is placed on exploring emotion and personality through movement. It builds technique by using short, fun sequences all ages can enjoy and develop through the grades.
​
Modern dance can be fast, slow, high impact or gentle movements. Classes normally involve a mixture of music styles and different dance techniques such as Tango, Salsa, Jazz, Ballet etc.
​
Due to Modern dance being about personal interpretation, it allows people of all abilities (beginners to those with limited movement or recovering from injury) to take part in the classes.
​
Under 5's Modern - Wednesday & Saturday
Grade 1-6 Modern - Wednesday
Intermediate, Advanced 1 & 2 Modern – Monday
We offer 2 levels of Contemporary at King’s. It’s a much more mature style of moving so we recommend students being at least 13 before trying it out. It can be danced to almost any style of music, or combined with other dance forms, to create new movement. It is safe and accessible for beginners as well as a fantastic challenge to those more advanced students looking for their next challenge. Contemporary breaks the mould of what dancing ‘should’ be.
