I am currently doing a bit of negotiating/brainstorming with Oranges via the contemporary classes, team, etc.

Contemporary would be based here in the lyrical department. There will be classes for multiple levels, as well as choreography. There might also be a Contemporary Team [referred to as Contemp Team from now on] in the Dance Team and one of the rehearsal rooms eventually, which will have auditions, and if possible, a Team A and Team B, to accommodate more people and more levels.

This is currently a work in progress, and I need to see if there is enough interest before I make any rash decisions.

So, if you're interested in any of the Contemp programs I mentioned above, please:

DDN Name:
Age:
Years of Ballet Training:
Years of Modern/Contemporary, if any:


Yes, I am asking for ballet training because it has a lot to do with a dancer being able to handle contemporary dance. I am also asking for ages so that I can plan my classes accordingly. [I'm one of those. Yes. haha.]
If you're not comfortable posting your age, you can always PM it to me, but please leave your other info on this thread and just tell me you PM'd me.

And just so you're aware of my qualifications:
I'm 20.
I have taken ballet since I was 3.
I have danced since I was 3.
I have had modern/contemporary training since the age of 12.
I have taught contemporary for a good 4 years now.
I have taught dance in general for about 6 years, starting at age 14 with wee ones. :)

If there is any more information you feel pertinent to give or ask for, please feel free. :)

I will also be posting the required ballet classes for each level to attend when they are sorted out and when we have more contemporary students, along with the dates the first contemporary classes will start.
