FAQ: What is contemporary dance?

Contemporary is rebellious by nature! It was created as a reaction to the rigid rules of ballet and other genres of dance. It is expressive, and inspired by various dance styles but most importantly it allows for your own unique interpretation of a move.

Welcome to Ardour Academy

There is a beautiful coffee shop/bar attached, where we will look after your Soul. There will also be a number of well-being courses and retreat days so keep an eye out on our Events page.

Events with Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba will also be held as “pop-up workshops”, tailored towards technique and musicality. These workshops will be posted on our Facebook Events Page.
