Breathe, move, and feel the floor

Modern dance is the style of freedom and expression. Forget strict rules; here you work from your feeling and the center of your body. You use gravity to your advantage: falling, rolling, swinging, and bouncing back up. Contact with the floor is essential.

At the USC, modern dance is accessible to everyone. We use natural movements such as running and jumping, combined with technical training. To diverse music styles, you learn to control your body AND let go. It is wonderful to get out of your head and just move.

For the Expressive Athlete

Do you want to do more than just learn steps? Modern dance invites you to put emotion and expression into your movement. You tell a story with your body.

For the Beginner

Because we work with natural movements (walking, running), the threshold is low. You don't need a gymnastics background to join in and enjoy the flow.

For Everyone

Young, old, male, or female: modern dance is universal. The classes are easy to follow and ensure that you not only get fit but also leave the room happy.

All about Moderne Dans

Do I have to dance barefoot?

Yes, we usually dance barefoot or in socks. This ensures direct contact with the floor, which is essential for your balance and technique ('grounding').

What kind of music is used?

That is very diverse! From quiet instrumental music to powerful beats. The music supports the atmosphere and movement of the class.
