Dance

Grace, Poise, Agility

Everything about ballet is beautiful: Grace, Poise, and Agility. Tracing the history of ballet will take us back to the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th and 16th centuries.

Ballet in France and Russia assumed distinct character.
By the 18th century Russia became a focal point of the dance world with ballet continuing to evolve in terms of presentation, style and movement.
Dance en pointe became popular by early 19th century and the costumes developed to fairy-style attire.

 

Today, ballet is pursued as a passion by aspiring dancers.

ICMQatar is proud to have professional ballet instructors who have proven their skills and expertise through various national and international concerts, and have played a key role in molding confident ballerinas.

Contemporary Dance

Contemporary aka Modern Dance is fast gaining popularity among all generations. It is a style of expressive dance that brings together the elements of several dance genres.

The beauty of contemporary dance is that it doesn’t have a defined traditional rule and gives you the freedom to connect one’s mind with body, thereby giving a sense of freedom and contentment.

 
At ICMQatar we have teachers specialized in various genres of dance that make them adaptable to teach and train the nuances of contemporary dance.

Jazz Dance

Jazz Dance, which traces its roots back to early 20th century America and Caribbean, is one of the specialties of ICMQatar. Jazz Dance rapidly gained international attention through concerts and theatre productions by specialist choreographers, encouraging students to try and explore a new genre in dance.
At ICMQatar we offer expert training in all forms of jazz including, but not limited to, contemporary, broadway, modern, lyrical and funk jazz.
