Features of Contemporary Dance - JSS1 Cultural and Creative Art Lesson Note

Features of Contemporary Dance:

 

Individual Style: One of the defining features of contemporary dance is the emphasis on individuality. Dancers are encouraged to develop their own unique style and movement vocabulary, rather than conforming to a predetermined set of steps or techniques. This allows for a diverse range of expressions and interpretations within the contemporary dance community.

 

Creativity: Contemporary dance is a platform for creative exploration and innovation. Dancers are encouraged to experiment with movement, improvisation, and choreography to push the boundaries of traditional dance. This emphasis on creativity fosters a dynamic and evolving art form, where new ideas and techniques are constantly being explored and developed.
