Modern Dance

Modern Dance

A style of theatrical dance that rejects the limitations of classical ballet and favors movement deriving from the expression of inner feeling.
Modern dance is focused on creative self-expression rather than on technical virtuosity. Modern dance is a more relaxed, free style of dance in which choreographers use emotions and moods to design their own steps, in contrast to ballet's structured code of steps.

Our Dance Families Thoughts

  • I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to fully express what DC has meant for Emma, and our family.

    Thinking back to when she was just 3 years old, you were such a safe and nurturing presence for her. I always trusted you, your mom, and your grandmother to protect her and give her space to experience the joy and healing of dance.

    As she grew older, dance became a way for her to express emotions that words couldn’t capture. You challenged her, supported her, and helped shape her into the strong, determined, and mature young woman she is today. I truly cannot thank you enough.

    Dance is such an integral part of who she is, and she will carry a piece of DC with her to Ohio State next year. She is going to miss you so much!

    With gratitude, Kyra
