modern dance, postmodern dance hailed the use of everyday
movement as valid performance art and advocated novel
methods of dance composition.

of postmodernism. However, the postmodern dance movement
rapidly developed to embrace the ideology of postmodernism
which was reflected in the wide variety of dance works
emerging from Judson Dance Theater, the home of postmodern
dance.

Postmodern dance was relatively short lived but its legacy lives
on in contemporary dance (a blend of modernism and
postmodernism) and the rise of postmodernist choreographic
processes that have produced a wide range of dance works in
varying styles.
