modern dance and contemporary came
along.

greatly popularized
the contemporary
dance to the
worldwide audience.

was regarded as one of the
greatest creative forces in
American dance, education
dozens of worldwide
famous dancers and
thousands professional
dancers who preserved his
style until today

dance visionary, who trained
many famous modern
dancers and managed to
incorporate the styles of
Native American dance and
modern jazz into his dance
techniques
