Modern Dance at our Summer Dance Camp

History

Modern dance developed in the early 20th century when a few dancers in Europe started to rebel against the rigid constraints of Classical Ballet. Shedding classical ballet technique, costume and shoes these early modern dance pioneers practiced free dance steps.

In America, Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis and Martha Graham developed their own styles of modern dance steps and laid the foundations of American modern dance steps and moves with their choreography and teaching.

ADTC Modern Dance Classes

Modern dance is only offered as a core class during selected session-weeks at ADTC. Our modern dance classes expand the body’s traditional range of motion and provide a non-aerobic workout that helps develop grace, free artistic expression and reduce muscle stress.
