Christopher Bruce is a very well know choreographer. His style of dance is based on human rights, and it varies between classical ballet and contemporary dance. Actually Bruce would consider himself a contemporary choreographer, but he uses other dance styles as well. For example, in Ghost Dance, he includes some traditional folk dance movements, and in Swan Song he includes tap dancing.
