South Korea's modern dance, modern dance, is a dance school that rose in the west at the beginning of the 20th century, as opposed to classical ballet. Its main aesthetic point of view is to oppose the formalism tendency of classical ballet, which is conformist, divorced from real life and simply pursuing skills.

Graham technique

Martha Graham used "contract and extension" (contract &; As its action principle, the focus of skill training is to contract the strength of lower abdominal muscles, and then Release this strength to extend the action to a farther, higher and longer distance. Floor training includes sitting posture, kneeling posture and lying posture; Standing action mainly focuses on the shift, balance and extension of the center of gravity; The main training demand of mobile combination is the change of walking, running, jumping, turning and three-beat time.

Han's skill

Doris Humphrey described "Fall &; Recovery) is its action principle, and the skill training is mainly swing; With the force generated when the center of gravity shifts, the arc action cycle of "starting, stopping, falling and starting again" is formed. Han's action training mode can also be extended to the circulation phenomenon of everything in the universe, which is an important example of life philosophy for dance skill training.

Mona Lee technology

José Limon Lee is a direct disciple of Han, and his skill training principle is based on Han's skills and personal research experience. Mona Lee's technique not only keeps the basis of "falling and recovering" by swinging and shifting the center of gravity, but also emphasizes the smoothness of movements and the decomposition of movements of all parts of limbs. Mona Lee regards all parts of the limbs as a single musical instrument. When the whole body moves, it is like a symphony, and many musical instruments play a human melody together.

Horton technique

Lester Horton was the first teacher of the famous black dancer Alvin Avery. After Horton's death, Avery became the main heir to Horton's skills. Horton's technique focuses on the extension and elongation of limb lines, and at the same time tries to challenge the difficulty of human balance, so there are many exercises in which the other limb parts stretch in the opposite direction. Most of Horton's movements are inspired by the images of primitive groups or ancient ruins.

Relaxation skills

It originated in Lower new york, USA in 1960s. At that time, young people who were active in Judson Church constantly explored and experimented with the potential of limbs, in the form of improvisation through contact. The activity pattern and motivation of limbs are neither overused nor completely relaxed, but they form a kind of continuous energy, which makes limbs extend from one action to the next or several actions.

By using the knowledge of exercise physiology and anatomy flexibly, stretching skills can connect the bones and muscles of the whole body and complete a series of limb movements with the least effort.

Free form

When post-modern dance emerged in 1960s, the fixed form of modern dance skill training was gradually criticized by avant-garde dance artists, and turned to free play as the main form of action training. Free-form physical training not only highlights the professor's personal style, but also includes various explorations of time, space and energy, which usually come from the basic movements of daily life, such as walking, running, jumping, turning, squatting and sliding.
