Modern 1

Studying Modern dance allows students to explore the other side of their creativity. Our program is steeped in the Horton technique, but we also help them explore and build their improvisational skills. Once students reach Ballet 4, modern is a required class if they wish to audition for BBT’s Pre – Professional Company.
