Modern dance and contemporary?

Question:

So first things first, i recently saw this video called breathing room!. Immedietly after i saw it i truely wanted to dance!. The link to this video is http://youtube!.com/watch!?v=YSh_4wbBr40&f!.!.!.
WATCH IT! ok so anyways, i talked to the choreographer of that dance in the video and she said the style of dance was "contemporary" but yesterday i went to go see a contemporary class and i noticed it was more ballet!. And the music seemed more soul than the song in the video (even though its mixed it's a indie song) and i looked up a video of "modern" dance and it seemed to be more similar to the breathing room video!. So my question from all of this is, What style of dance is shown in the video!? Is it contemporary or modern!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

absolutely amazing dance,nice choice! it is in fact contemporary!. the moves portray a very sudden,sharp,and short movement!.unlike modern where it is more followed-through movements and fluid!.

different types of studios have different types of perspectives on contemporary dancing!. you might not find the exact type you're looking for in your area,but atealst give a few different studios a try until you find the one you like best!. also, try looking for dance conventions coming to or near your city, coreographers from all over the country/world come to teach you dances!.it's a wonderful experience for a beginning or advanced dancer!.

hope this helps & good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some choreographers put more Ballet technique into their routines than others :)

But I think its contemporary!. To me contemporary is kind of weird and thats kind of weird lol!. But weird is good! I find it pretty difficult to find the difference between Modern and Contemporary!.
