Contemporary dance:
Contemporary dance is a very interpretive style of dance that focuses on unconventional movements. It was considered unconventional because it shifted away from classical ballet and lyrical dance forms. Contemporary dancers were considered revolutionary, pulling from non-western styles such as African style dancing. Unlike classical ballet, contemporary dance does not have fixed movements, instead it is a search for new forms and dynamics. It focuses on oppositional movement, alignment, raw emotion, and systematic breathing.
There are several different types of technique from other genres of dance used in contemporary dance. |
