Contemporary is a popular style of dance taught and performed all around the world. It was originally influenced by classical ballet, modern, and jazz but has since borrowed ideas from many other styles making it varied and experimental. Contemporary dance can be used to tell a story or it can be abstract and focused on a concept or different ways of moving the human body - it is therefore a very creative and ever-changing art form.
