Developed during the mid-twentieth century, contemporary dance is now one of the most popular
and technical forms of dance studied and performed professionally, especially in the US and
Europe.Drawing on classical, modern and jazz dance styles, contemporary dance has evolved to
incorporate many characteristics of a broader range of dance forms. Known for its emphasis on
strong torso and legwork, contract and release, fall and recovery and floor work, it is often known
for unpredictable and disordered changes in speed and rhythm throughout a performance.

HIP-HOP
Hip-hop dancing refers to a range of street dances that developed in relation to hip hop music and
culture. Hip-hop dancing dates back to the early 1970s in New York and California, evolving out of
Funk and the development of break beat.
Main styles of hip-hop dancing include Breaking, Locking and Popping, with derivative styles
emerging out of these including Memphis Jookin’, Turfing, Jerkin’ and Krumping. These were often
popularised and made mainstream after being featured in music videos of the time.

performing at once.Tap dancing characterises a range of dances including flamenco,

of years amongst Irish people and other countries worldwide. Popularised by
shows such as Riverdance, Irish dancing is famously known for its fabulous display
of footwork and dance formations.Most Irish dancing events are traditionally
accompanied by signing and music. During festivals, dances are held to showcase
talent and to compete for trophies or medals.

MODERN DANCE
Considered as being a broad genre of dance, modern dance primarily arose from
western countries such as the USA and Germany during the late 1900s. While most
forms of dance are structured and feature set steps, the purpose of modern
dance is to rely on the dancer’s interpretation of the music and feeling to guide
movements.Modern dance was initially born out of dislike for the limitations of
traditional dances such as ballet, which often oppressed dancers with rigid rules
and techniques.

SWING DANCE
Swing is a variation of jazz dance which developed between the 1920s to the 1940s as a
response to the growing popularity of swing jazz in America. With the evolution of music that
occurred during the Jazz era, dance also began to change with the likes of swing music
encouraging faster, more rigorous movements.Popular forms of swing dance include the
Lindy Charleston, the Jitterbug, Lindy Hop and the Balboa, many of which are still performed
today. Swing dancing would commonly be accompanied by Big Band musicians who often
played upbeat melodies which were smooth and easy to listen.
