It would depend on the school. Certainly at Canada's National Ballet School, we know it's important that the students are exposed to a variety of dance styles. About 20 years ago we had Peggy Baker, who's a really significant modern dancer and a real legend in Canada, become our artist in residence, so the senior school students get classes with Peggy from grades 10, 11, and 12 to learn contemporary dance movements. We also have Indian and South Asian dance and we've got folk dancing, so they do get exposed to a variety of dance styles. I would imagine that would be consistent with the other large schools, just so that the students are prepared for the diverse range of choreography that's in companies today.
