The contemporary or modern dance

A style designed to express the feelings. As well as the feelings change, contemporary dancers must change constantly. It is important to individualism, abstraction and delivery to the art. The dancers have little in common apart from the rejection of the existing traditions and the desire to revisit the fundamental principles of dance as a means of communication. There are currently two techniques: The Graham, and Cunningham, but contemporary dancers tend to stir.
differences between ballet and contemporary dance:

Ballet

1 .- The forms are always graceful and beautiful.
2 .- The body needs to have a particular way and since children are working on that.
3 .- The work is moving and high jumps.
4 .- The basic steps are rigidly defined
5 .- The choreography follows a history and has several characters.
6 .- It dances with clothes and special shoes.
7 .- In the pas de deux, the man burden to women in ways defined.

Contemporary dance

1 .- The forms show how beautiful and the ugly of life
2 .- The body can weigh or measure anything while this strong and flexible.
3 .- It works on the ground and falls.
4 .- There are many styles of steps
5 .- The coregografía is based on ideas and feelings
6 .- It dances with the clothes they may be. Usually they dance barefoot.
7 .- The man burden to women in unusual ways. Even women's burden to man

History

The origins of the movement date from the late nineteenth century when four dancers felt too many restrictions on the ballet to express themselves. Americans Loie Fuller and Isadora Duncan influenced a lot in Europe while the Europeans Rudolf von Laban and Mary Wigman marked to the Americans. Fuller work in transforming his body in a flower or a butterfly. She blew the ability of new technologies, to dance in a cloud of silk illuminated by the new electrical systems theatrical lighting. Duncan used the ideals of ancient Greek art to inspire more natural forms of dance. Duncan used the human body as an instrument of emotional expression
