Contemporary

Contemporary dance is a vibrant and expressive style that combines elements from various genres, including modern, lyrical, jazz, and ballet. This dynamic form of dance emphasizes creativity and self-expression, allowing dancers to explore a wide range of movements and emotions.

At La Tragna Dance Academy (LDA), our contemporary dance classes focus on connecting the mind and body through fluid, somatic movements. Students will engage in both abstract and lyrical practices, enabling them to discover their unique dance voices while mastering essential techniques and fundamentals.

Throughout the course, students will gain exposure to influential approaches within contemporary dance, including the works of pioneers like Martha Graham and José Limón. They will also delve into historical dance appreciation, exploring how various styles have shaped contemporary dance as we know it today. Our curriculum includes Release techniques, Contact improvisation, and Partnering work, which fosters collaboration and creativity among dancers.

In addition to practical dance skills aligned with the UKA Contemporary dance syllabus, students will develop their performance aptitude through various opportunities, including shows, fundraisers, assessments, and examinations. These experiences not only build confidence but also prepare students for future performance endeavors.

Furthermore, our program emphasizes the importance of choreography and theory in contemporary dance. Students will have the chance to deepen their understanding of choreographic principles and the creative process, allowing them to explore their artistic ideas and bring them to life on stage.
