Contemporary Dance

In terms of the focus of its technique, contemporary dance tends to combine the strong but controlled legwork of Ballet with Modern. It also employs contract-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristics of modern dance. Unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction are often used, as well.

Due to its technical similarities, it is often perceived to be closely related to modern dance, ballet, and other classical concert dance styles.
