Information about the course:

What is contemporary dance?
Contemporary dance is based on modern dance and combines contemporary elements from all over the world, with an emphasis on personal expression, movement in space. It often combines elements from modern dance, jazz, lyrical, martial arts, acrobatics, African dance and even ballet. This combination creates a unique style that is also flexible and dynamic.

A contemporary dance course for beginners allows you to learn dance from the basics, in a closed and supportive group, without judgment. A place where you can make mistakes, experiment, fall and skip, roll, sweat, and leave each class with a feeling of success.

The course is structured gradually and adapted to the group. You start from the basics; getting to know the body, the studio, working in a group and in space, in addition to elements from the world of modern dance that emphasize correct posture, essential positions for working as a dancer, emphasis on the shape and structure of the body in space, as well as developing musicality and using different scales and rhythms.

Then we develop into more complex and in-depth work, with techniques from contemporary dance that include floor work, spatial deployment, use of momentum, and qualities of softness versus strength. The course provides basic tools and principles for developing each dancer’s movement language, along with improving flexibility and strength that is built from lesson to lesson.

A contemporary dance course for beginners is intended for those who have never danced, for those who have danced for a long time and stopped, and for those with little background in dance.
