What does modern dance mean?

Modern dances include black dance, Korean dance, Hong Kong and Taiwan dance and disco lead dance.

Modern dance is a dance genre that rose in Europe and America at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. Its main aesthetic point of view is to oppose the formalism tendency of classical ballet, which is conformist and divorced from the phenomenon-single life and pure pursuit of skills. It advocates getting rid of the rigid movement procedure of classical ballet, freely expressing people's true feelings with dance movements that conform to the laws of natural movement, and emphasizes that dance art should reflect modern social life. Its founder, isadora, a recognized American dancer? Isadora Dunkang (1877- 1927) thinks that the practice of classical ballet will cause abnormal development of human body. She yearns for the simplicity and natural innocence, and advocates that "dancers must integrate body and soul, and their body movements must develop into the natural language of the soul", expressing their inner feelings sincerely and naturally. It was Rudolph, a Hungarian who systematically established a relatively complete theory and training system for modern dance schools. Rudolf Flonlaban (1877- 1968) created a training method called the law of nature, which summarized the composition of human movements into eight elements, such as "chopping, pressing, rushing, twisting, sliding, flashing, knocking and floating", and thought that as long as the relationship between the elements was properly handled, it could be composed. His Labannot is still one of the most influential dance music in the world. Ruth, a dancer of Duncan's time? Ruth St. Denis (1877- 1968) is a pioneer of American modern dance. She has widely absorbed the dance cultures of Egypt, Greece, India, Thailand and Arab countries, and formed a modern dance with oriental mystery and religious spirit. Her student Martha? Marthe Graham (1894- 199 1) is an outstanding representative of contemporary modern dance. She believes that since human beings have beauty and ugliness, love and hate, goodness and evil, dance should not only praise beauty and goodness, but also show sin, regret and jealousy. Therefore, she put special emphasis on using dance to peel off the coat that covers people's behavior. She also created a set of dance techniques called "Graham technique". In recent decades, the dancers of this genre have developed independently and formed many factions with different styles and artistic opinions. Some have made great achievements in the innovation and development of dance, while others have completely violated the basic ideas and artistic ideas of the early modern dance school, divorced from the objective social reality, and developed to the point of grotesque and obscure, which cannot be understood and accepted by the broad audience.
