Modern dance is a dance genre that rose in Europe and America at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century.

Its main aesthetic point of view is to oppose the formalism tendency of classical ballet, which is conformist and divorced from the phenomenon-single life and pure pursuit of skills. It advocates getting rid of the rigid movement procedure of classical ballet, freely expressing people's true feelings with dance movements that conform to the laws of natural movement, and emphasizes that dance art should reflect modern social life.

Its founder, isadora, a recognized American dancer? Isadora Dunkang (1877- 1927) thinks that the practice of classical ballet will cause abnormal development of human body. She yearns for the simplicity and natural innocence, and advocates that "dancers must integrate body and soul, and their body movements must develop into the natural language of the soul", expressing their inner feelings sincerely and naturally.

It was Rudolph, a Hungarian who systematically established a relatively complete theory and training system for modern dance schools. Rudolf Flonlaban (1877- 1968), who created a training method called the law of nature, summarized the composition of human movements into eight elements: "chopping, pressing, rushing, twisting, sliding, flashing, knocking and floating", and thought that if the relationship between the elements was handled properly, it would be His Labannot is still one of the most influential dance music in the world.

Ruth, a dancer of Duncan's time? Ruth St. Denis (1877- 1968) is a pioneer of American modern dance. She has widely absorbed the dance cultures of Egypt, Greece, India, Thailand and Arab countries, and formed a modern dance with oriental mystery and religious spirit. Her student Martha? Marthe Graham (1894- 199 1) is an outstanding representative of contemporary modern dance. She believes that since human beings have beauty and ugliness, love and hate, goodness and evil, dance should not only praise beauty and goodness, but also show sin, regret and jealousy. Therefore, she put special emphasis on using dance to peel off the coat that covers people's behavior. She also created a set of dance techniques called "Graham technique". In recent decades, the dancers of this genre have developed independently and formed many factions with different styles and artistic opinions. Some have made great achievements in the innovation and development of dance, while others have completely violated the basic ideas and artistic ideas of the early modern dance school, divorced from the objective social reality, and developed to the point of grotesque and obscure, which cannot be understood and accepted by the broad audience.

Hip-Hop is a kind of folk dance, which arose among African-American teenagers in 1980s and is an integral part of African-American "hip-hop". Because this kind of dance appears in the street, regardless of the venue equipment, it is called hip-hop, which has strong participation, performance and competitiveness.

In China, street dance as a fitness method was introduced by Meng Xianjun of Beijing Sport University on 1995. In order to achieve the effect of fitness, Meng Xianjun selectively adapted the original hip-hop dance to be chic and decadent, and removed the difficult and dangerous ground movements in the hip-hop performance, instead of venting his emotions, he only wanted to be healthy.

According to the types of movements, street dance can be divided into two categories: street dance and break dance. Broken: It is a highly skilled sports dance, which requires dancers to have high strength, flexibility and coordination. Teenagers who dance this type of dance are called B-Boy/B-Girl.

Hip-Hop: Dance-style hip-hop, which has many styles, such as Poping, Locking, Electric, Turbo, House and so on. They don't need higher skills such as breaking, but they need more coordination and sense of dance, as well as flexibility and control of their limbs.

There is also a saying that hip-hop is collectively referred to as Hip-Hop, including two categories-old shoot and New Shool. Old Shool dances include lock (lock dance), Poping (mechanical dance), break (break dance), Wave (electric current), etc., while New Shool is generally "gentle", without much foot movements, only adding a lot of head and hand movements, paying attention to the rhythm of the upper body. In the rhythm of the same period, the new school appears more fluent and advocates natural expression, while the music rhythm of the old school is more intensive.

In China, street dance is currently divided into fitness street dance and popular street dance. Hip-hop in the gym is called fitness hip-hop, which combines the most basic and simple content covered by popular hip-hop with the part beneficial to physical and mental development.
