Beg. Contemporary Fusion

Contemporary includes a full warm up, across the floor and/or center technique, choreography, and elements of structured improvisation. This dance form developed Modern dance in the 1900s as a revolt against the restrictions of Ballet. As a dance form, it continues to be advanced through movement innovation and exploration, drawing from various dance forms such as Jazz, Hip Hop, Martial Arts, and theatrical performance. This class challenges dancers to explore the quality of movement, musicality, and performance. Suitable for dancers with a solid background in any form of dance who are looking to improve their execution and adaptability. No special attire or shoes required.

This class blends elements from various dance styles, including contemporary, jazz, ballet, hip hop, and cultural dances from around the world. We will focus on artistic expression, creativity, and individuality, offering students a welcoming platform to explore movement in a diverse and inclusive environment.

In our contemporary fusion class, you can expect to move using fluid and organic movements with sharp and dynamic choreography. Students are encouraged to connect with their breath and body, cultivating awareness and presence.

The first half of class is dedicated to warm up and exploration. We will warm up together with group combinations and contemporary exercises intended to make you sweat and get your body ready to move.

The second half of class is dedicated to learning choreography and embodying it to music. Phrase work in this class draws from Christian’s experiences with contemporary, release, improvisation, physical theater and floor work techniques.
