Modern Dance lessons in Weymouth

Modern dance lessons are very popular at QTA - dancers build up their jazz and lyrical steps and movements as they move through the grades, working on the strength and flexibility that means a movement looks effortless even when we know it isn't!

With the experience that comes with being one of the longest-running Modern dance schools serving Weymouth, Dorchester and Portland, our teachers help dancers grow from their first steps into strong, confident Modern dancers, well before their teens.

How do our Modern dance classes fit with our other lessons?

Our Modern dance lessons complement our other classes such as Commercial Jazz, Ballet and Musical Theatre Workshop - combining technical elements with theatrical storytelling.

Musicality runs through the whole class too, and our students learn to feel and dance with the music, rather than just alongside it.
