History of Modern Dance
Modern dance began in the late 19th and early 20th century. It was started in both the United States and Germany. Modern dance broke away from classical ballet. Martha Graham, the first dancer to ever dance at the White House, is considered the "Picasso of modern dance" as her contribution to modern dance is like Picasso's contribution to visual art. Floor work, contact improvisation, and release technique are elements included in modern dance.
