Contemporary

Contemporary dance is a genre of concert dance that employs systems and methods found in modern dance and postmodern dance, as well as classical ballet. Contemporary dance draws on modern dance techniques as well as newer philosophies of movement that depart from classical dance techniques by altogether omitting structured form and movement. Pioneers of contemporary dance include Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, Doris Humphrey, Mary Wigman, Francois Delsarte, Emilie Jaques-Dalcroze, Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Rudolph von Laban, Loie Fuller, Jose Limon and Marie Rambert.

At the Academy of Dance Arts Contemporary classes are offered to more advanced students and this usually complements their classical training.

Jazz

Jazz dance is a popular form of dance particularly with teenagers. It originated in Vaudeville and became identified with tap dance set to jazz music. Jazz dance evolved into a smooth style performed on Broadway and popularized by Bob Fosse. It is generally regarded that the basis for good jazz technique is ballet, which builds the strength and coordination required. Teachers at the Academy of Dance Arts dedicate a part of the Jazz class to intense warm-up and stretching, to build on the students' athleticism, strength and agility.

Jazz classes on offer at the Academy of Dance Arts are aimed at various levels namely children, teens, and more advanced dancers.
