Contemporary dance is a style of interpretive dance that embraces innovation, blending techniques from various genres, including classical ballet, jazz, modern dance, and lyrical dance.
This genre of dance, which focuses more on floor work than on leg work, isn’t restricted by the rules of traditional dance forms.
Instead, it relies on improvisation and is characterized by freedom of movement, letting dancers explore the mind-body connection and ideally evoking emotion in the audience.
Contemporary dance is sometimes considered a form of storytelling, and dancers may portray characters or convey personal stories.
