MODERN
We follow the ISTD syllabus from Pre-Primary to Advanced. Modern dance is a highly expressive style of dance and the focus of modern dance is expression and performance. Modern dance movements are considered freeform and fluid, and are often inspired by other dance styles—like African dance, ballet, and folk dance. Though modern dance technique is considered more relaxed and natural than ballet, it can require considerable core work and strength. Modern dance is fun, and energetic with plenty of kicks, leaps and turns. Modern dance can be seen in theatres and productions around the world.
