Modern dance is a kind of dance that breaks away from the routine and bondage of classical ballet and emphasizes the free expression of feelings and life with natural dance movements. At the beginning of the 20th century, modern dance was founded by American dancer isadora duncan, with natural movements, lively forms and free dancing. Duncan often goes barefoot and wears gauze clothes, drawing inspiration from waves, clouds, birds and swaying branches, looking for creative inspiration from ancient Greek sculptures and decorations, improvising on the stage, and forming his own dance style and theory advocating nature and Greek art.

American dancer Duncan's free dance is the earliest form of modern dance. Later, after saint-denis absorbed the spirit of oriental dance, modern dance became more mature.

Barton Momo, a famous American modern dancer, is over 70 years old. His muscles are still full of tension and his expression is full of vitality and brilliance.

After the 1960s, many schools of modern dance emerged, including expressionism, neo-avant-garde, symbolism and abstraction.
