Modern Dance
“A free, expressive style of dancing started in the early 20th century as a reaction to classical ballet. In recent years it has included elements not usually associated with dance, such as speech and film.” Modern Dance is interpretive and expressive, which allows both the choreographer and the dancer to be creative.
