    CONTEMPORARY DANCE

    BALLET AND JAZZ


    Contemporary dance is a specific genre of concert dance that concerns non-
    choreographic movements influenced by compositional philosophy. Modern dance
    was born before contemporary dance and focuses mainly on the emotions of
    dancers, while the second, focuses on creating new techniques and styles.

    Contemporary dance embodies ballet, modern, jazz and lyrical. It uses a technique
    such as ballet as its fundamentals and creates many more movements that do not
    adhere to the strict rules of ballet and modern. There are different categories of
    contemporary dance such as Contemporary Ballet and Contemporary Jazz.
    BALLET
    1 Ballet is an art form created by the movement of the human
    body. It is theatrical – performed on a stage to an audience
    utilizing costumes, scenic design and lighting. It can tell a
    story or express a thought, concept or emotion. Ballet dance
    can be magical, exciting, provoking or disturbing

    Ballet dance is a traditional art form that


    2 originated over 500 years ago in Italy
    Jazz dance is a form of dance that combines both

    PART TWO
    African and European dance styles. This high-
    energy dance has a liveliness that sets it apart
    from traditional dance forms, such as classical
    ballet. Like jazz music, jazz dance features
    FAMILY TIME improvisation.
    jazz dance, any dance to jazz accompaniments, composed of a profusion of forms. Jazz dance paralleled
    the birth and spread of jazz itself from roots in Black American society and was popularized in ballrooms
    by the big bands of the swing era (1930s and ’40s). It radically altered the style of American and
    European stage and social dance in the 20th century. The term is sometimes used more narrowly to
    describe (1) popular stage dance (except tap dance) and (2) jazz-derived or jazz-influenced forms of
    modern dance.

    During the 1940's, jazz dance was influenced by ballet and modern dance.

    Jack Cole is credited as the father of theatrical jazz dance. His career spanned from the 1920s through the 1950s and he
    developed a specific method of training theatrical jazz dancers in a style which he called “jazz-ethnic-ballet”.
