CONT

a form of Western theatrical dancing that has developed almost entirely outside the ballet tradition. Modern dance is not simply a matter of chronology, however, nor is it a rigid technical system. In essence, it is point of view that stresses artistic individualism and encourages dancers to develop personal choreographic styles.
