6. Elements of Dance STUDIO SHODWE Home About Us Services Contact In dance, the body is the mobile figure or shape, felt by the dancer and seen by others. Action is any human movement included in the act of dancing Dancers interact with space in myriad ways. They may stay in one place or they may travel from one place to another. The keyword for the element of time is “when”? Human movement is naturally rhythmic in a broad sense that we alternate activity and rest. Energy is about how the movement happens. Choices about energy include variations in movement flow and the use of force, tension, and weight.

7. Contemporary Dance STUDIO SHODWE Home About Us Services Contact Contemporary is another word for “modern” or “current”. If something is contemporary, it belongs to the here and now, the current. Contemporary dance is, therefore, always changing with the times and developing, and takes its inspiration from many different modern forms of dance. It can be danced to almost any style of music, and it can be mixed up with other dance forms such as street dance, ballet, jazz dance, African and Asian dances, and other forms of exercise such as martial arts and yoga. Pioneers of contemporary dance include Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham because they broke the rules of the strict forms of ballet. These dancers/choreographers all believed that dancers should have freedom of movement, allowing their bodies to freely express their innermost feelings. It's important to note, however, that while Graham moved into what is now known as modern dance, and Duncan's style was uniquely her own, Cunningham is often spoken of as the father of contemporary dance.
