A rhythmic, percussive dance form seen primarily in commercial venues such as Broadway shows, The Academy Awards, dance revues and music videos. Evolving from a blend of European and African traditional social dances. Ballet and Modern Dance contributing to its elegance and African Dance providing its rhythmic propulsion and percussive style.

Contemporary
Contemporary dance is a mixture of Modern, Ballet, and Jazz. It focuses on isolations and free form dance movements. Contemporary dance was developed in the early 20th century as a reaction against the rigid techniques of ballet. Contemporary can be danced to almost any style of music, or united with other dance forms to create new styles of movement.
(Ages 7 and up)
Modern
Modern dance is a style of theatrical dance that rejects the limitations of classical ballet and favors movement deriving from the expression of inner feeling. This style is the "abstract" art of the dance world and requires an open mind and creative movements.
(Ages 7 and up)
Acro
Acro dance is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precise acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics. Gymnastics experience recommended.
