Contemporary Dance for Dummies!
Learn all there is about Contemporary dance
1. What´s contemporary dance?
Contemporary dance emerges as a reaction to classical forms
(ballet) and as a need to express oneself more freely with
the body.
My favourite definition is:
"Interesting, different movement that does not fall into other dance
categories."
2. How does it look like?
It has many forms and appearences:
- MODERN -
Many music videos and artists are lately including contemparary dance
to tell a story or to simply get very cool music videos like Try with
P!nk and Colt Prattes...
or the already very famous Sia music videos with talented dancer
Maddie Ziegler!
- ASIAN WEIRD -
As a reaction to ballet it has got to very strange versions like the
bizarre Japanese form called "Butho"
- FLOOR WORK -
Floorwork refers to movements performed on the floor, also known as
floorflow. If you enjoy lying on the floor this technique is for you!
