About your performance class.
Contemporary comes in many forms and is an expression of the artist themselves. Contemporary at RNS takes fundamental movements from Modern, Lyrical, Jazz, and Improv to create impactful and inspired classes. You'll explore the lineage from the start of contemporary dance within codified techniques all the way through to the commercialization of contemporary dance through recent media. Expect complex choreography, floor work, and artistry exploration.
This class will break down technical elements working on strengthening the body and technique as you work towards 2 performance choreographed pieces for the RNS Show at the end of the year. Each RNS performance class performs dances and has the opportunity to work with 2-3 different choreographers so that you're building the team while also exploring two different ways to approach the same style.
Level 2/3: Intermediate/Advanced. At least 7 consecutive years of dance experience within the last 15 years. Ability to pick up choreography, understanding of complex rhythms, understanding of cross floor exercises, technical skills in at least one style, general knowledge of dance language.
