Contemporary dance is a dance performance genre that developed during the mid twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world. Contemporary dance stresses versatility and improvisation, unlike the strict, structured nature of ballet. Contemporary dancers focus on floorwork, using gravity to pull them down to the floor. Today many techniques are being followed which were developed by pioneers of contemporary dance like Hortan Technique, Limon Technique, Graham technique, Release Technique, etc… This dance form facilitates body-mind connections with frameless movement and imagination.
