At Kinetic Revelation Academy of Dance & The Arts · Ages 11+

Full of creativity, emotion, and personal expression, Contemporary dance challenges students to think outside the box and move with intention and authenticity while honoring God with both the message and the movement. It blends elements of jazz, modern, ballet, and lyrical—along with its own unique movement vocabulary. Contemporary emphasizes strength and control, contrasted with flowing movement, contractions and releases, the use of flexed feet, grounded movement, and floor work. Dancers will explore changes in rhythm, speed, direction, and the art of improvisation, all while learning to connect deeply with music and emotion. With a focus on story-telling, worshipful expression, and creative exploration, this class is a safe and inspiring space for students to grow in both their technique and their faith through the art of contemporary dance. It is highly recommended that students enrolled in this class also take ballet or have a ballet background, as ballet provides the essential technical foundation needed for success in contemporary movement.
