What is the comparison of ballet and modern dance?
modern dance is the same by both starting aroung the 100s and having struture. Modern dance is sort of like the "less strict" version of ballet. In ballet, turn outs, points, ankles, knees, posture, and all that are extremely important and ballerinas spend years in perfecting them. However in modern, there are no turn outs, instead they turn in (in terms of the direction your knees are facing), and they don't emphasize on your point either. Modern is something less "formal" and "'strict" compared to ballet i guess.

What did Martha Graham achive?
I'm not a dancer, but I believe she was most known for her modern dance techniques. There may have been others before her , but ,earlier in the 20th century, almost all dance that was performed on stage was ballet. This kind of dance she and her dance company performed was like ballet, choreographed in the same manner, but was a more abstract, free kind of dance. And the performers did not necessarily wear tutus, or stand "on Point" (like ballet dancers, on their toes). The costumes were often just tights, leotard, and simple ballet slippers. So everything was less formal , more personal, and about feeling, moods and not neccesarily related to a story(as ballet usually is). It was considered "Modern" dance so I'm guessing she might be considered the founder of modern dance.
