Dance!
The Evolution of Dance
Contemporary Dance.




“Contemporary dance [...] is the collection of unusual
bodies and unusual movements patterns.” (Gabriele Brandstetter)
Dance is an art form.
A form of expression.
The artistic medium is the movement of the body.
In order to become a professional dancer...
... one has to leave the body’s comfort zone...
... and sometimes endure some pain...
...but it’s worth it:
Beauty.
Energy.
Catharsis.
Passion.
Fun.
