Modern Dance  

Modern dance is a type of dance that has been developed in the early 20th century. It is well known for its unique dance style. It does not concentrate on the structured steps like traditional ballet dancing, instead it concentrate more on the dancer’s interpretations. Modern dancers usually bare their feet and revealing costumes while they are dancing. This is something special about them which are different from other dancers. <??>   

The characteristics of modern dance are that it encourage and recommend modern dance dancers to design their own dance steps and routines through their moods, feelings and emotions. It is a common matter for them to come up with new steps for their routines, rather than following blindly on the already-exist dance steps (a structured code of technique, such as ballet). The other characteristic about it, which is different from ballet, is that it uses the gravity. The differences between the two dances are that ballet dancers tend to be airy and light on their feet, whereas modern dance dancers generally use body weight to enhance their own movement.  

The modern dancers today tend to express themselves, their emotions through dancing. It is because majority of them believe that this is one of the ways to get closer to their inner selves. Before each of their performance, they will pick the dance steps with reference to their emotions, choose the music that relate and suit their story that they wished to express and also, a costume that could reflect and match their chosen emotions of modern dance.
