ballet continued to develop and evolve
over the remaining years of the
eighteenth century. The art form went
on to be developed in Russia and
France, and all variations found in
classical style are rooted in the original
French technique of King Louis XIV’s
royal court.
48
49. Until 1681, ballets were danced
entirely by men!
Women weren’t introduced
to the opera-ballet stage
until the Paris Opera production
of Le Triomphe de l’Amour.
Featured in this production was

is attributed as being the first
professional female ballet dancer.

55. Neoclassical ballet
is the 20th century
style of classical ballet
exemplified by
the works of George Balanchine.
55
57. Neoclassical ballet
draws on the advanced technique
of 19th century Russian Imperial dance,
but strips it of its detailed narrative
and heavy theatrical setting.
What is left is the dance itself,
sophisticated but sleekly modern,
retaining the pointe shoe aesthetic,
but eschewing the well upholstered
drama and mime of the full length story ballet.
57
58. George Balanchine's Apollo in 1928 is considered to
be the first neoclassical ballet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassical_ballet 58
59. Traditionally, European and American
theatrical dance centered on ballet.
However, in the early twentieth century,
it became fashionable in dance circles to
rebel against the strictures of tradition.
The first two well-known American dancers
to break away from classical ballet were
Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis.
59
61. Although their styles differed,
Duncan and St. Denis's
unconventional approaches
opened the door to a new era
in dance history:
the American modern dance movement
of the 1920s.
61
63. Doris
Humphrey
was one of the second
generation of
American
modern dance
pioneers
64. Humphrey followed her forerunners –
including Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis
and Ted Shawn – in exploring the use of
breath and techniques and choreography
that developed the nuances of the
human body's responses to gravity
which she embodied in her
principle of fall and recovery. 64
66. According to the Limón Institute, his
technique "emphasizes the natural
rhythms of fall and recovery
and the interplay between
weight and weightlessness to provide
dancers with an organic approach to
movement that easily adapts to
a range of choreographic styles."
He used the technique to display his own
expressive interests. 66
70. Irene and Vernon Castle:

Modern Ballroom Dance
led the craze for
ragtime and Broadway
routines adopted as

72. Martha Graham
gave modern dance
new depth as
a vehicle for
the intense and
forceful expression
of primal emotions.
73. The Martha Graham Dance Company has
been a leader in the development of
contemporary dance since its founding in 1926.
Graham and her Company have expanded
contemporary dance’s vocabulary of movement
and forever altered the scope of the art form by
rooting works in contemporary social, political,
psychological, and sexual contexts.
73
76. American dancer and choreographer,
Agnes De Mille, further developed
the
narrative aspect of dance
and made innovative use of
American themes, folk dances, and
physical idioms in her choreography
of musical plays and ballets.
76
78. Rodeo (1942),
one of Agnes De Mille’s most
important ballets,
was the first ballet
to include tap dancing;
it also used distinctively American
gestures—bronco-riding
and steer-roping movements.
78
79. In the 1950s, Anna Halprin
established the
San Francisco Dancers’ Workshop
to give artists like herself
a place to practice their art.
Being able to freely explore the
capabilities of her own body,
she created a systematic way of
moving using kinesthetic awareness.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Halprin 79
81. To distinguish his choreography,
Paul Taylor incorporates everyday
gestures rather than dance moves.
Through his body language,
he is able to convey his
emotions and imagination.
Taylor's masterpieces are known for their
wit, warmth, musicality, and excitement.

83. The Alvin Ailey American Dance
Theater, founded in 1958,
was a hugely popular,
multi-racial modern dance
ensemble.

Revelations,
is based on Ailey's own experience
of growing up African American
in the rural South and
is a celebratory study of religious spirit.

89. While modern dance had historically aspired to
high seriousness and spirituality,
Twyla Tharp's work was humorous and edgy.
She worked less often with
contemporary avant-garde music than with
classical music, pop songs, a clicking
metronome, or silence. Always, the choreography
was dynamic,
unpredictable and underpinned by an unusually
thorough musical intelligence.
89
91. In the cultural ferment of the 1960s, young artists
felt challenged to test the boundaries of their media.
Twyla Tharp's work fused classical discipline and
rigor with avant-garde iconoclasm, combining ballet
technique with natural movements like running,
walking and skipping. By combining different forms of
movement – such as jazz, ballet, boxing and
inventions of her own – Ms. Tharp’s work
expands the boundaries of American ballet and
modern dance.

“Awesome dancing and a backbeat to knock it all home. Eye-popping digital effects. Excellent showbiz-savvy performers. Perpetually
smoldering. Lusty, sensual movement.” – Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice
97. There are a number of modern dances,
such as hip hop, breaking, and krump
that evolve spontaneously, but the term
"folk dance" is generally not applied to
them, and the terms "street dance" or
"vernacular dance" are used instead.
