What is Modern Dance?
Modern dance evolved in the early 20th century, and it favors movement invention derived from the expression of the individual rather than classical traditions. Instead of following a set movement vocabulary, modern dancers work creatively with the elements of movement: time, space, and force. Modern dance connects to the earth with bare feet and embraces the force of gravity with floorwork. The torso becomes a major expressive force in modern dance.
