Question: What are 3 features of contemporary dance?
Answer:
Question: What are the roles of males and females in contemporary dance? What are the differences and/or similarities?
Answer: That really depends on the company, choreographer and dancers. There is a lot more scope in contemporary dance then in some other forms. There are not structured roles. Sometimes their differences are hilighted and sometimes supressed, it really depends. As in everything, men tend to be stronger and women more supple, however contemporary dance often stresses that a female dancer will have to lift and do muscular work and a male take on the traditional feminine characters.
Question: Why do people choose to dance this style?
Answer: They choose it out of a desire to explore and expand movement artistry that cannot be achieved within the confines of the other major classical dance family - Ballet.
Question: When did the industry begin using the term Contemporary Dance?
Answer:
The sketch uses the german word "ausdrucktanz". As a native german speaker, I think that "Ausdruckstanz" is the correct form!? (note: upper case "A", and binding "s") --stsz 21:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
