CONTEMPORARY DANCE

"Dance is the hidden language of the body. The body says what words cannot. There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique." - Martha Graham

Contemporary dance draws on both classical ballet and modern dance, whereas postmodern dance was a direct and opposite response to modern dance. Dance techniques and movement philosophies employed in contemporary dance may include contemporary ballet, dance improvisation, interpretive dance, lyrical dance and more.
