• For those just starting out with their
  contemporary dance classes, you may have noticed
  that there are no established movement patterns
  or standardised movement trends!
• IT can be confusing as a beginner, especially if
  you are a kind of person who likes things to be
  organised, defined and tangible.
• It may seem haphazard to the untrained eye but
  therein lies the beauty of contemporary dance.
