BALLET

A classical form of dance focusing on proper body alignment and fluid movement. Barre, center floor, and across the floor progressions are all used to develop proper ballet technique.

MODERN

Modern dance encourages dancers to use their emotions and moods to design their own steps and routines. Another characteristic of modern dance, in opposition to ballet, is the deliberate use of gravity. This type of dance rejects the classical ballet stance of an upright, erect body, often opting instead for deliberate falls to the floor.
