Modern Ballet Modern ballet is genre of dance which developed in the early 20th century as a new way of expression, a more free and natural one, as opposed to the traditional, highly technical classical ballet. Being focused on spontaneity and self expression, the classes can develop your creative thinking by allowing you to have more freedom in the movement and to obtain better physical and emotional awareness. This class might contain classical ballet vocabulary combined with different elements and it can be more accessible for dancers without many restrictions in choreography or improvisation.
