A modern approach to a classical art
At The Chesapeake Academy of Dance, we focus on the individual dancer and the best path for them. Whether you are a professional dancer, have aspirations to become a professional, or are taking dance for recreation we have a class for you!
By changing the perspective on what dance class looks like, we provide quality dance training while protecting dancers’ physical and mental health. We’re taking a modern approach to a classical art.
How do you do this?
We do this by bringing modern dance science into the classroom, using anatomy knowledge to drive our teaching. Students will learn about how their body works and moves. By learning about how movements are formed, dancers are able to better train. They will understand how to reach their goals, and they will be able to do so in a healthy way.
Why is this needed?
Often classical training focuses on extreme and unhealthy methods to achieve "peak" performance. We know that this approach is unsustainable and leads to career-ending injuries. We train to ensure you can reach your absolute best as a dancer in a healthy, sustainable way.
