Levels – Ages 12+ (with approved experience), RAD Grades 4+.

At least a beginning/intermediate level contemporary or lyrical dance experience is required. Additionally open to current ABC dancers in RAD Grade 4+ ballet level with no contemporary experience.
Using a combination of dance styles and working with emotional elements, dancers will be telling stories with movement. We will use a combination of styles including classical techniques, modern, and jazz dance. Through center work, across the floor progressions, floor work, and learning choreography we will explore contemporary dance and become more expressive dancers.
You won’t find a better dance style to be learned for building strong dance skills from the ground up! Modern dance is a must-try for anyone who wants to grow into the best dancer they can be—no matter what other styles they love.
In our Modern classes, a famous and fun syllabus by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance is followed. It’s known for its theatrical flair and exciting moves. You’ll see big traveling steps, high-flying kicks, powerful leaps, and plenty of turns—all the fun stuff! Don’t worry, though—everything is taught step by step, and strength and flexibility are built along the way. These classes go perfectly with our Royal Academy of Dance Ballet training, or they can be enjoyed on their own. Either way, muscles are trained just right to help dancers stay strong and avoid injuries.
The Modern syllabus also mixes in jazz, lyrical, and contemporary dance, so there’s always something fresh to be explored. Modern dance is never stuck in one style—it’s always growing and changing with the times, which keeps things exciting!
With a carefully designed program and lots of support, students are guided to become versatile, expressive, and confident dancers—while having loads of fun along the way.
What better way to show off your skills than under the stage lights in front of a cheering crowd? At the end of the year, you’ll take the spotlight in our June production—where every dancer gets their moment to shine.
You’ll learn how to put your moves together into full routines, work as a team, and perform with confidence and style. You’ll get to express yourself through dance and bring a story to life.
This is your chance to step into character, wear amazing costumes, and experience what it’s like to perform on stage—just like the pros. You’ve worked hard all year—now it’s time to own it!
