Contemporary: Η επανάσταση των χορών
Modern dance is a type of dance like ballet, jazz and emerged as a form of “revolution” against the strict principles of ballet.
It focuses on the personal interpretation of the dancer and not on steps with a specific structure as is the case in ballet.
Basic characteristics of dance are the freedom and intense expressiveness that characterizes the dancers’ movements.
Each dancer designs his own choreographies and often devises steps that he uses in his routines.
For contemporary dancers, dance is a manifestation of expression and there is no emotion that cannot be expressed through dance.
Dance can express joy, happiness, sadness, rage, passion, disappointment, and every expression of human life.
Modern dance allows dancers to move freely, without setting rules and restrictions, so it is the absolutely free expression of every dancer.
