modern dance
My group danced to the instamental sing " im idffernet". it told a story of two girls who broke away from the normal crowd, and became there own self. I t was a modern dance because we had flowing movements and we told a story.
showtunes
our show tunes dance was " fabulous" from High School Musical. What made it a Broadway type dance was we acted our stuff and actions during the song. That is one of the main things that most Broadway shows have, they all act out a story that goes along with the song.
