Modern Dance emerged out of a rejection of classical ballet and has grown to encompass a wide range of movement styles and techniques. It provides an outlet for free expression without the boundaries accompanied with more classical, traditional forms of movement. Several modern techniques include Horton, Cunningham, and Graham- just to name a few.
Nicole hates watching boring ballet pieces but loves to watch modern dance because she finds it is always fresh, new and entertaining.
