The Modern Theatre Dance syllabus incorporates elements of Jazz, Contemporary and Ballet. It's also included the learning of rhythm, good posture and development of style & self confidence. Modern dance transpired from ballet, movement become free and music was used from the current day.

Modern dance mixes lyrical dance with more up tempo rhythms and explores all concepts of dance of today. The ISTD created their syllabus in 1932 and are continually changing and updating their syllabus.

Through a carefully planned well established syllabus the students learn exercises, dances and amalgamations that help them to be disciplined and versatile dancers, building core strength and flexibility. Modern. like ballet, is an incredibly important dance discipline & will further enhance your child dance training.

Modern Dance often seen on the stages of musical production and is known for its theatrical qualities. The style uses traveling steps, high kicks, leaps and turns which all need strength and flexibility. This is a highly energetic dance style.

We offer classes from Primary to Advance 2 and up to qualified teacher. Exams can be taken from 6 years of age. At Swan Lake Dance Academy we are pleased to provide classes in ISTD Modern.
