OUR COMPANIES

A positive of Contemporary’s Youth Performing Companies is that they are all strong and individual companies. They do have some different performance opportunities based upon venue, but overall the focus is training and performance strengthening for each company. All dancers, no matter which company they are a member of, are encouraged to train in various techniques as it makes a stronger and more versatile dancer and performer. Learn more.

Our Basics Beginner Series is for the totally beginner dancer, or for the dancer that is many years out of practice.
For those dancers that we’re at an intermediate through advanced level prior to returning, we recommend attending the level below. If you are out of practice for years, then we recommend the beginner/ intermediate level to begin. Then you can choose when to move up based upon your comfort level.
Still unsure, then Email danceinfo@schoolofcbd.com to reach a representative that will help you find the right class for your level.
