Confident Kids Performing Arts School is proud to provide Lyrical (all ages) and Contemporary (from Grade 3) classes in Cranbourne West. Our expressive lyrical dance classes combine the technical foundations of ballet with the fluidity of jazz, encouraging dancers to develop strength, flexibility, control and artistry while learning to interpret music and express emotion through movement.
Our creative contemporary classes blend elements of ballet, jazz and modern dance, encouraging students to develop strength, flexibility, control and artistry while exploring storytelling, musicality and individual expression through movement.
Lyrical classes include technique, turns, leaps, extensions, travelling sequences, choreography and performance skills, with a focus on musicality, storytelling and emotional connection.
Contemporary classes include technique, floor work, turns, leaps, improvisation, choreography and performance skills, with a focus on fluid movement, creativity, body awareness and emotional connection.
These styles have been made popular since shows like ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and ‘Dance Moms’ have featured it heavily.
Contemporary and lyrical dance classes give children the opportunity to combine strong dance technique with creativity, emotion, and self-expression. Drawing on elements of ballet, jazz, and modern dance, these styles help students develop flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, and musicality. Through flowing movements and expressive choreography, children learn how to connect movement with storytelling while building confidence in their abilities.
Lyrical and contemporary dance encourage children to explore their emotions and creativity in a positive and supportive environment. Students learn to interpret music, express ideas through movement, and develop performance skills that can be applied across many areas of dance and the performing arts. These classes also help improve focus, discipline, resilience, and teamwork, while fostering a genuine love of dance and artistic expression.
At Confident Kids Performing Arts School, our contemporary and lyrical dance classes cater to a range of ages and experience levels. Whether your child is new to dance or looking to expand their skills, these classes provide a wonderful outlet for creativity while helping students build lifelong friendships, confidence, and technical ability.
Lyrical dance (available for all ages) focuses on expressing the emotion and meaning of the music’s lyrics through graceful, flowing movement, combining the technical foundations of ballet with the fluidity of jazz. Contemporary dance (available for students Grade 3 and above) is more abstract and versatile, encouraging dancers to explore creativity, storytelling and emotion through a broader range of movement styles, including floor work, improvisation and the natural use of gravity.
While ballet training can be beneficial, it is not always required. Our classes are designed to support students at different skill levels, helping them develop the technique and strength needed to succeed.
