Modern Dance

Modern dance is a genre that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to the rigid structures of classical ballet. It emphasizes expressive movement and conveys emotions and ideas through the body. Unlike ballet, which often adheres to traditional techniques and forms, modern dance encourages improvisation and personal expression. Dancers may use varied elements such as gravity, floor work, and unconventional movements to challenge conventions and explore individual narratives. This dance form invites audiences to connect with the performers on a deeper emotional level, offering a fresh perspective on movement and expression in art.
