Details: Contemporary Dance is an active and dynamic form, involving whole body movement in space and time, and often in partnership with other artforms. eg. music, art, drama, film, photography, etc. Based on a blend of natural, stylized and gestural movements, it evolved from Modern Dance which originated in the 1800¹s in Europe and the USA, richly influenced by classical, jazz, social and ethnic dance styles. Today, as a constantly changing and evolving dance form, it has many different and idiosyncratic dimensions, reflecting the dance choreographer or performer. Highly regarded internationally, it is incorporated into the training and repertoire of many dance schools and companies throughout the world.
