Contemporary
and Jazz
About our program
What does it mean to be a contemporary  dancer, or a jazz dancer?
Is it  classical? Hip hop?

Jazz  is all these things.
Hot and cold.
Fast and slow.
Traditional and modern.

The studio is excited to welcome the experience and expertise of Terrance
Henderson and McCree O'Kelley to the contemporary and jazz programs. Terrance
and McCree teach our older students. This year, we will emphasize the
development of contemporary dance, and your studio participants in the Youth
America Grand Prix will be competing both in classical ballet and contemporary.

Katie Crossland, a Columbia Ballet School graduate, is a dance education major  
at the University of South Carolina. She works primarily with our young dancers with
jazz and hip hop.
