CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of many dance genres including modern, jazz, hip hop and ballet. This dance style stresses versatility of both isolated/sharp movements along with fluid/soft ones. The class will focus on contemporary technique, improvisation, floorwork, musicality, and will help dancers develop their artistry and emotional connection to music. 

​

Truckee Dance Factory offers beginner to intermediate/advanced contemporary classes in levels 1, 2, 3 and 4/5.

​

The following dress code is maintained for safety and movement in contemporary dance classes:

• Hair: Must be neat and pulled away from face.

• Attire: Tight-fitting clothing such as leotards, t-shirts/tanks, leggings or shorts are appropriate. Clothing should not hinder movement (no jeans, no hats). No baggy shirts that will fall over students' heads when they go upside down. 

• Shoes: Barefoot or dance paws (half shoe).

• NO JEWELRY IN ANY CLASS for safety reasons.
