Core Modern

Core Modern

Our sequential age and developmentally appropriate curriculum teaches modern dance technique using the method developed by our founder, dance pioneer Steffi Nossen. It incorporates rhythms, patterns, collaboration and creativity along with other founders of modern dance education such as Martha Graham, May O’Donnell, Lester Horton, Alvin Ailey and Merce Cunningham. All core Modern classes begin in September and culminate in a year-end performance in May.

Pro-rated tuition is available. Call the office to register!

Modern I (K-1st) is a creative and innovative introduction to basic modern dance vocabulary and curriculum. The Steffi Method uses structured sequences and dances to teach rhythm, patterns and levels. Basic composition studies are introduced in a supportive atmosphere to develop the individual voice of each dancer as well as encouraging dancers to work collaboratively. Self-expression and confidence building exercises are an essential part of the class.

Modern II/III (2nd-4th) Is a continuation of basic modern dance vocabulary and curriculum. The Steffi Method uses structured sequences and dances to teach rhythm, patterns and levels. Basic composition studies are introduced in a supportive atmosphere to develop the individual voice of each dancer as well as encouraging dancers to work collaboratively. Self-expression and confidence building exercises are an essential part of the class.

Modern IV (5th-7th) focuses on defining a more challenging vocabulary and curriculum while continuing to strengthen alignment, core and flexibility. Dancers will gain a better understanding of more advanced center and floor work while continuing to develop their Improvisation and composition studies.
