Modern is a very popular dance choice for young people.  It helps to develop rhythm, co-ordination, self-expression, stamina, strength and flexibility.

Modern Theatre Dance defies a single permanent definition. This is largely due to its ability to adapt, develop and evolve with the changing fashion in dance.  The children’s work in the Modern syllabus is based on natural movements: walking, running, jumping and skipping.  Popular music is used to create dynamic and energetic routines and dances.

The I.S.T.D. has a carefully planned and well-tried examination syllabus.  This combines modern dance, jazz and other dance styles, which nurtures young people to become disciplined and versatile dancers.
