Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

the difference between modern and classical ballet is that modern is more abstract, meaning weird angles and arm movements, classical ballet is more about technique and showmanship, modern you can just be free, free yourself by doing movements that impulse you!. I myself prefer modern!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

modern is about the natural angles and movements of the body

While modern dance is all about the nailing the moves,
Ballet is all about the passion and confidence put into them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes I agree with dani and to add to that modern was created as a rebellion to ballet, so that's why they are so different from each other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
