About Contemporary Dance:

Contemporary dance was developed in the early 20th century and presented an alternate form of expression to the upright and highly structured technique of Classical Ballet. Focusing instead on fluidity and ease of movement, the body’s energy and natural lines, a new mode of self-expression in dance was born.
