Contemporary dance is a genre of concert dance that employs compositional philosophy, rather than choreography, to guide unchoreographed movement. It uses dance techniques and methods found in ballet, modern dance and postmodern dance, and it also draws from other philosophies of movement that are outside the realm of classical dance technique.
The term "contemporary dance" is sometimes used to describe dance that is not classical jazz or traditional folk/cultural dance[citation needed]. The hallmark of contemporary dance is an awareness of the limitations of form[citation needed]. Sub-genres recently defined by dance critics include non-dance, conceptual dance and pedestrian contemporary[citation needed].

I'm watching this show called So You Think You Can Dance on Velvet channel 53. And i've seen many dancers there. They dance one similar dance called Contemporary. Its like a ballet with a twist. Also like a jazz type of dance. It's a lot more interesting than ballet. This dance is so full of emotion, depending on the music they want to portray. I adore contemporary dancers because they are very physically fit, thighs are so tight and those movement, men! They do stunts and splits in the air, it makes me go GA-GA. I want to experience this kind of dance.
At our school, the other dance group performs jazz. They also do contemps. They are good. Pero we, Groove One, do hip hop. I want something different, I WANT CONTEMP or something laid back with partnering. Last last year, Me and Ken are the ones who will dance Mad by Ne-Yo for a school production but sadly, it was postponed. :| Aw. :( We were totally looking forward to it. SAYANG.
WELL, I hope I can dance contemp, just for once. Please! Btw, you can search for You Tube videos of contemp performances on So You Think You Can Dance. Just search and watch.
