Contemporary dance was born at the beginning of the last century in America, and was created in opposition to dance classical ballet. Great names of contemporary dance: Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, Merce Cunningham, Alvin Ailey, Horton ...
In Europe, it has developed with Maurice Béjart, Carolyn Carlson, Pina Baush, JiriKilian, Philippe Découflé and many other living artists whose creations can be seen regularly.
Martha Graham was the first to establish the technique and vocabulary of contemporary dance, and she has trained many great American choreographers, each of whom has used some of her technique.
The Graham technique is the absolute reference, and remains the basis of most contemporary dance styles.
Contemporary dance uses all existing music.
The Graham technique is an academic technique, the basic reference for most contemporary techniques. Training in this technique helps to develop self-confidence, provides strong energy and promotes self-expression.
The release technique appeared in the 1990s. It is characterized by very fluid passages on the ground and requires less technical knowledge; it is easily accessible.
The Modern fusion technique is a blend of contemporary and neo-classical ballet. A basic knowledge of classical ballet is required for this technique.
To get started in Graham at class , start with a class floor bar with Maggie Boogaart (Mondays at 12:30pm). The teacher will then guide you.
