It is theatrical - performed on a stage to an audience utilizing costumes, scenic design and lighting.

Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres such as Modern, Lyrical, Jazz and Ballet.

This popular dance style strives to connect mind and body through fluid, Somatic dance movement.

Drama is the ideal genre to help build confidence.

This can be done through learning poems, monologues, devising pieces and many more activities which can then either be performed on stage or used as part of an exam.

Jazz dance originated in America in the early twentieth century.

It is built on early African/American dance with a performance technique rooted in ballet. Nowadays, the term "jazz dance" is more commonly used to describe the work of choreographers such as Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins and has little to do with jazz music. It is stylized, energetic and enormous fun.

Modern has it's roots firmly in Ballet although it did originate in America.

It is often seen in Musical productions and can be quite theatrical and energetic.
