How many dance styles?
There are quite a few dance styles. Some of the common ones include: - Ballet - Classical Ballet - Neo-classical Ballet - Contemporary Ballet - Contemporary - Modern - Lyrical - Tap - Jazz - Broadway - Hip Hop - Acrobatics (some do not classify this as a dance style) - Breakdance - Street There are many others, including cultural and religious dance styles; those are just off the top of my head.
What classifies modern versus contemporary dance?
Modern dance is diversed from Classical Ballet where the dancers/choreographers try to break the rules and strict of Classical...i.e., in Classical the dancers tend to dance on turn out most of the time and seems to concentrate to work on their legs , whereas in Modern is dance in turn-in feet and use the spines and focus on relaxation of upper body. Contemporary is the dance style that combined or influenced by other dance style but still based on relaxation and freedom of movement rather than rigid as in classical ballet.
Are contemporary dance and modern dance the same thing?
Yes x :) but you can also have contemporary ballet which is a modern version of ballet. x
