Art of Rhythm Dance Company

Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Dancers will strive to connect the mind and body through fluid dance movements.

Dancers must have taken at least one year and be at least 11 years of age. For the safety of the dancer, a teacher recommendation is required for pointe shoes and we are looking for dancers with strong core and ankle strength and dancers who are able to hold their ballet placement at barre and center.

This form of dance pulls away from Ballet’s traditional systematical, poise and lifting the core to focuses on works that are asymmetrical body contractions. Each level provides students with the opportunity to explore moving in different levels and planes in space, using their spine fully.

Ballet is the “backbone” of all dance training. Ballet classes teach proper body aliment while also building grace, elegance, technique, discipline, flexibility, stamina, and endurance. Advanced levels are a continual study of fundamentals, extended to emotional expression and precision, as well as developing fluid artistic control. It is strongly encouraged that all dancers continue the study of Ballet in addition to other forms of dance.

Young dancers will emphasize on creative dance, body and space awareness, rhythms, Ballet and Tap fundamentals and terminology.
