Modern

Modern classes are offered for students that are interested in group classes and are also offered privately. Modern dance is a form of dance that is free. It was developed in the early 20th century by a group of dancers in America as a way to rebel from the rigid constraints of Classical Ballet. The founders of modern dance continued to make works based on ancient myths and legends following a narrative structure, their students the radical dancers saw dance as a potential agent of change. Disturbed by the great depression and the rising threat of fascism in Europe, they tried to raise consciousness by dramatizing the economic, social, ethnic and political crises of their time. Now, Contemporary Modern still portrays ideas, tells stories and encourages change in our society. Modern dance is performed barefoot or in lyrical sandals. It is a free and flowing human movement.
