Contemporary Dance - What is it?

 If Ballet is the heart of dance, Contemporary is the soul.  Contemporary dance combines a variety of dance techniques such as ballet, modern, jazz and lyrical to create a beautiful style of dance filled with emotion.  It incorporates a lot of floor work and although technique is important, contemporary dance is more of a free form than the disciplined style of ballet.

ď ą Contemporary dance is often raw and thought provoking taking the audience on an emotional journey. Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham and Isadora Duncan are a few of the great contemporary dancers that have helped develop the style into what it is known as today. ď ą Contemporary dance is a true expression of emotion through movement. ď ą Contemporary dance has exploded in the last decade and is often the style of choice for performances and competitions alike.
