I’ll use the expression 'contemporary dance history' to talk about figures, choreographic productions or related facts occurred in western culture between the 1950s and the present time.
Though, it is important to keep in mind that this expression is used in a popular way to gather many different (really really different) choreographic practices, which can be sometimes contradictory in their aesthetical proposals.
So, the expression 'contemporary dance history' will serve here mainly as a chronological reference. A discussion about contemporary dance features of the following figures or pieces might come in other pages.
We could say that both ballet and modern dance are ancestors of contemporary dance. Ballet creates the general concert dance frame work and technical knowledge used or refused by contemporary dance. Modern dance is at the same time its ‘anti-reference’ and kind of ‘mother in law’.
So, there’s a contemporary dance history before the 1950s: that one of ballet and modern dance, which somehow serves society to make emerge contemporary dance.
If you prefer to browse through a handy summary of contemporary dance history (with the names of figures who were or are significant for it), go to our general dance history page. The following is an expanded version of that part
