 MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY
▪ MODERN DANCE – was developed in the early 1900s, the time when dancers came out
against the stiffness and restraints of classical ballet. It created its own techniques,
costumes, shoes, and gave more attention to self-expression and individual creativity rather
than technical expertise. It allows dancers and choreographers to create steps using their
moods and emotions producing a more relaxed dance style.
▪ CONTEMPORARY DANCE – may include techniques that are found in ballet and modern
dance such as floor work, fall and recovery, improvisation, even incorporating yoga, pilates,
and martial arts together with techniques introduced by such famous dancers as Graham,
Hawkins, Horton, and Cunningham.
