The fundamental: Ballet training. All leg and arm positions are basically the same, with any performance it is perfectly acceptable in both branches of ballet to "cheat" and stylize the details (like angle of hands or head) a bit. In Classical, however, there are limits to how much one can do. For example, rarely in a Classical ballet class do they ask you to work with parallel legs: they must always be turned out. Additionally, costumes and music are usually classical as well. Costume is pink tights, and some form of tutu, at least. Contemporary ballet is easier to define. It might, choreographically, appear to be a mixture of modern or lyrical dance and ballet. Costuming and music doesn't have to be classical either. It's really quite supportive of experements.

Diffences between 20th century ballet and classical ballet?
20th century ballet is more modern than the typical plie, tondue, arabesk. It has awkward movements and turned in feet with arms out of typical position. The best way to put it is "Breaking Boundaries" a more contemporary dance than classical ballet. Contemporary ballet, you should watch it to understand more :) here's a link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF2k4RRfBb0

Not all ballet is smooth and flowy as it looks. Modern ballet can be more contemporary or jazz-like, with different hands or positions than traditional classical ballet. Lyrical ballet is smooth and flowy, so you can get away with less technique.
