Before you go
Your first contemporary class
Is Contemporary good for complete beginners?
Absolutely. Contemporary is one of the most beginner-friendly dance styles because there's no single "right" way to move. Teachers actively encourage exploration and self-expression, and most beginner classes start with simple, foundational movements like contractions and spirals. You won't be expected to know anything going in.
Do I need any prior dance experience to start Contemporary?
No prior experience is required. Contemporary welcomes absolute beginners. Some students come with a ballet or jazz background, which can help, but many successful Contemporary dancers start with zero dance training. The teacher will scale the class to your level.
What should I wear to a Contemporary class?
Wear comfortable, stretchy clothes like joggers, leggings, or a t-shirt. You'll dance barefoot so the studio floor can help you feel the ground. Avoid anything restrictive. Bring water and a small towel, and arrive in clean socks if you prefer not to go barefoot right away.
