Contemporary Dance
What is a contemporary dance? Where did contemporary dance originally come
from?
It is an expressive dance
technique which is a combination
of a variety of dances: modern,
jazz, lyrical, and classical ballet.
The performer of this type of
dance tries to connect body and
mind through smooth fluid dance
movement. It is an art of dance
whose working material is the
movement of the body. It has no
fixed or standard movement
patterns but it is rather a continuous search for new forms of dance where the dancers
make use of different modern and classical techniques of dances.
Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham are the pioneers of
contemporary dance. They believe that “dancers should have freedom of movement,
allowing their bodies to freely express their innermost feelings and thought.”

How does media information help in promoting physical activities and fitness?
Digital media which includes the Internet, social networking, and social media sites can
be effective agents in promoting physical activity among people. Facebook, YouTube,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, and Tiktok are known to be some of the most
popular social networking sites.
Digital media is a modern way of interacting with some people as they deliver news,
information, and advertisement. Social media, as modern marketing tool, gives opportunities
to reach a larger number of people in an interactive way. These interactions allow engaging
conversations rather than simply educating people on some issues of physical activity and
fitness.
How can media information help in the issues of physical activity and fitness?
Video games like Dance Revolution and other sports video games like Nintendo, Wii,
Xbox, and Xerbike (boxing, dancing, tennis, skiing, soccer, etc.) promote physical activities.
Such games make you use your bodies as you mimic the actions that show up onscreen. The
level of difficulty increases as you go from one level to the next. This makes you exert more
physical effort and helps you become more active.
