What is Modern Theatre Dance?
Modern Theatre dance is dance training that works on core
strength, flexibility and dance movements such as turns, jumps etc.
From the 1900s to our current day from choreographers such
as Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins choreography for musicals in New York’s
Broadway and Hollywood began a form and energy that is exciting and wide in
style and movement.
Musicals we know andlove from Cabaret, The Lion King, Oliver, Hairspray, Oaklahoma to name a few
have amazing dance numbers and these trained dancers are trained in this style ‘Modern Theatre Dance’.
Modern Theatre Dance also includes ‘Isolations’ and Combination steps that are often used in Hip Hop, Street Dance and Music
Videos.
Exams will be available in the future for aspiring performers through the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance).
