invoked a woman goddess, to this body expression joined women slaves and
these women were in charge of popularizing as a result of entertain, the main
function of this was to express freedom and communicate with the body.
Apart from this in 19th century Change the styles of the Ballet classic besides born
new dancers with less rigid movements and innovating new forms of expression
(feelings, ideas, emotions) similar to ballet, but with body movements own; Over
time they were changing the classical technique by body techniques where
acquiring movements of flamenco, yoga, among others. In the Second World War
this dance style was called modern dance but Its evolution took place at the end of
the years 1940 where he preferred to call the expression of these movements

Its evolution over time
1900: This movement was characterized by the free movements different to those
of the dancers since they resorted to some old and western movements.
1930: New dancers appear in New York City at this time. They decided to use
more internal than external movements like breathing or walking.

new pioneers of this type of dance added techniques such as social dance, ballet
and modern dance.
Important pioneers
Isadora Duncan (1877- 1927)

she decided to dance barefoot and use only a robe as a costume. She created
dances using the law of gravity and resistance.

Ruth Saint Denis (1879 – 1968)

use some movements based in India, Egypt and Asia. She began her career as a
soloist time after I create a company called Denis Hawn.
Mary Wigman (1886 – 1973)
She was inspired by the Asian and Oriental World, in its work as soloist and in
Group use masks. The four basic aspects of M. Wigman are: expression, space,
dance without music and the principle of tension and relationship.
My opinion
I chose this topic because I love dance Since I was little I like to dance, I learned a
lot of things Although Others have taught me along my way, different teachers
have helped me to discover my body, movements, facial expressions among
others.
I would like that many people learn to appreciate, respect and admire this type of
art as shown until the deepest secrets of the Soul with each movement, is a
variation of the United body flowing to the rhythm of the song and effusive or
sadness.

when Christianity appears

Contemporary dance
La danza contemporánea muestra un lugar o movimientos con el fin de conseguir
una interpretación personal, no siempre tiene que contar una historia, muchas
veces está sujeta a un coreógrafo el cual toma decisiones creativas él o ella eligen
piezas que tendrán un carácter abstracto o narrativo, los bailares son
seleccionados de acuerdo a sus habilidades y entrenamiento, la coreografía es
realizada basándose en su relación con la música o los sonidos con los que se
baila. el papel de la música en esta danza es diferente al de otros géneros porque
puede servir de fondo para la pieza.

A lo largo del tiempo la danza contemporánea se fue dividiendo en 2 escuelas

diferentes una de ellas fue la escuela europea y esta se inspira en la gimnasia
expresiva o posteriormente gimnasia rítmica afirma que los estados espirituales se
deben representar a través de actitudes y movimientos del cuerpo como unidad y
no únicamente del rostro esta divide el cuerpo en 3 zonas variables:

 Los miembros inferiores, expresan fuerza

 El torso y brazos expresan lo espiritual y emocional
 Cabeza y cuello, el gesto, reflejan el estado mental

Sus ideas fueron llevadas a USA por uno de sus discípulos steele mackaye que
junto con genevieve sebbins difundieron estas ideas a las mejores escuelas de
new york. isadora ducan fue una de las bailarinas pioneras en estados unidos
cuya técnica en su ejecución se caracterizo por movimientos libres ,fluidos y
cargados de pasión y fueron la base para la danza del siglo 20 y junto con ella un
grupo de bailarines de estados unidos empezaron a crear danzas que rompían
con algunos criterios de la danza moderna.
Esta se caracterizo por:

 el movimiento independiente creado

 la expresión del sentimiento
 espectáculo visual

con estas escuelas hubo una representación particular de mujeres y hombres que
marcaron una diferencia con cada estilo especial que le agregaban a la danza
