Contemporary Amman
Inspiring people to move
Contemporary Amman is a dance studio located in the 4th circle offering a dance program for ages 3-14 and short dance courses and workshops for adults. We empower young people to share their stories through movement and train them to become confident and authentic storytellers. We take a holistic approach to our program by developing technical, creative and performance skills equally.
