LEAPS AND TURNS TECHNIQUE

This specialized class is a way to increase dance skills, flexibility, strength and gain abilities for your other dance classes. No costume or recital performance for this class.
MODERN
Modern is a form of contemporary dance employing the use of the entire body in movements expressive of abstract ideas. Modern dancers expand the limitations of classical ballet and favor movements derived from the expression of their feelings and interpretation of the music.
