HOW MODERN DANCE WORKS AT CDA
You register for
Modern Dance.
Contemporary, Lyrical and Modern Jazz are not treated as three unrelated weekly classes. They are developed together within one coherent programme so dancers build transferable technique, versatility and performance quality.
The technical base is strongly balletic, giving dancers the posture, placement, line, control and movement vocabulary needed to move confidently between the three performance styles.
LYRICAL
Line & interpretation
Musical phrasing, extension, emotion, fluidity and storytelling through movement.
MODERN JAZZ
Rhythm & performance
Technique, attack, rhythm, coordination, turns, jumps and confident stage presence.
DANCECOR
One technical syllabus.
Versatile dancers.
CDA’s Modern Dance programme is affiliated with DanceCor. Examination training is approached as one progressive modern syllabus rather than splitting Contemporary, Lyrical and Modern Jazz into separate technical programmes.
