Contemporary is a dance style that is originally based on Greek Natural movement. Again, as in Jazz, there are several styles that have been developed and Contemporary has been incorporated into a Classical style so that “Dance” has become homogenized in current choreography. Contemporary style is incorporated into the R.A.D. Ballet syllabus and is valuable in teaching students the “Rise & Fall” in movement. Gibsons Dance Centre incorporated Contemporary into their program along side of classical work. The “Pure” style Contemporary classes at Dance Works are offered to pre teens, teens and adults.
