What is Contemporary dance?

Contemporary dance

This dance form is an example of a partnered/non-partnered dance. In classes a choreographed sequence is generally taught, but in practice it is an improvised dance. (Editor)

Contemporary dance is the name for a modern concert dance genre. It is not a specific dance technique but a collection of methods developed from modern and post-modern dance and can take on many forms including dance fusion, emergent dance and revisionism.

Prominent artists in this area include Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown
