I know contemporary can seem daunting but trust me when I say it can change your life. I was so nervous for my first contemporary class but now I can’t see myself doing anything else. It’s a place to bring all your emotions and worries and put them onto the dance floor. Contemporary is always about feeling first, use that emotion just to let go of any worries. Anyone who has ever done my class will know we welcome and accept any feeling, and I can guarantee you will leave feeling ten times better.
What people don’t realise is that the core fundamental values of contemporary can be transferred to any style of dance, we work on strength and technique which will make you a more rounded dancer and a smart dancer! We strip down to the basics, train them to use our bodies safely, and push the boundaries. You’ll often see me throw myself on the floor and put my body into weird positions, but I have learned to trust my body and know that I have the training to allow this, which is something I’m very passionate about.
I could go on forever about the benefits of contemporary, but you’ll have to come to class to feel the effects fully. But honestly, contemporary is my biggest love and passion; you will see how quickly your dancing improves when you start.
If you want to step up your dancing and still your fitness and technique, I strongly encourage you to give contemporary a go. Our class is a community where we look out for each other and bring the best out of each other in a fun and loving environment.
