Contemporary & Modern Jazz Dance Classes
Move beyond the classical lines. We focus on precision, rhythm, and finding your own voice, whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique.
We are thrilled to host intensives with distinguished artists like Ryan Anderson. These workshops give our students exposure to world-class musical theatre and jazz techniques right here in our studio.
Our musical theatre and jazz intensives are about more than just steps. We focus on performance, expression, and pushing physical limits, all while singing your heart out. It's a full-body workout for the artist within.
In our Cunningham Technique® class, dancers learn to move with precision and clarity. Here, students practice coordinating their torso and legs, a key element of this contemporary dance style that builds incredible body awareness.

About Contemporary & Modern Jazz
These classes are not just about learning choreography. We work on building a dancer's body from the inside out, using the Cunningham Technique to develop real control over your torso and alignment. It is demanding, it requires focus, and it will challenge how you move, regardless of your current experience level.
Precision Meets Expression
Our Contemporary and Modern Jazz sessions are built for those who want to understand how their body moves in space. We don't just teach steps; we teach the architecture of movement.
In our Cunningham Technique® classes, you will focus on the spatial and rhythmic discipline required for modern dance. This is not a passive class. You will learn to coordinate your torso and legs with clarity, building a foundation of strength that translates to every other style of dance you perform.
High-Energy Jazz
For those drawn to the stage, our Modern Jazz curriculum is all about energy. We pull from broadway-inspired rhythms and musical theatre styles to keep the pace high. You won't just be going through the motions; you will be working on stage presence, dynamic alignment, and the musicality required to truly 'embody' the track.
Why Train With Us
- Professional Environment: We train on Harlequin-style sprung floors and Marley vinyl. This is non-negotiable. It protects your joints and allows you to jump and land with the confidence that you are training safely.
- Real Faculty: Whether it is our resident instructors like Iryna Hryshukova or guest artists like Ryan Anderson, you are learning from dancers with actual stage experience who expect you to work as hard as they do.
- Community Growth: You will be in a room with mixed-level learners. The more experienced dancers guide the newer ones, and everyone leaves the studio having learned something new. Whether you are prepping for a production or just here for the pure joy of the movement, you are part of a community that values grit over glamour.
