Modern Dance
By: Meagan Dodson
Modern dance is a style of western concert dance which began somewhere between the late 19th century and early 20th century. Modern dance birthplaces were in the United States and Germany, was a response to ballet as the primary form of concert dance. Modern dance refused aspects of classical ballet and broke away from codified movements and balletic narrative structures.
