Ballet is the art of soulful plasticity, thought, embodied in movement, life, shown by means of choreography and modern ballet is significantly different from the classical one. It uses movements from a variety of dance styles. Sometimes there is no plot, and the dance just conveys a certain mood.
Modern Ballet
The XX century greatly influenced the development of ballet art. Classic style gradually begins to acquire new elements of dance, and changes the image of each dancer.
If classical ballet is a harmony of music and dance, which are inextricably linked, then modern ballet is, first of all, an experiment.
Classical dance has become an excellent basis for the development of a completely different direction in ballet - modern dance (ballet in the art Nouveau style).
Classical dance — the main means of expression of the ballet; a system based on the careful development of various groups of movements, which appeared in the late XVI century in Italy and received its further development in France thanks to the court ballet. Due to the observance of certain positions of the legs, arms, body and head and strict adherence to the principles of the eversion of the legs, the verticality of the body and the isolation of its various parts, the movements of classical dance tend to geometric clarity. Classical dance came to Russia in the 1st half of the XVIII century. Thanks to the activities of Jean-Baptiste Lande in St. Petersburg in 1738 was opened the first dance school in Russia.
It is worth noting that modern dance or ballet in the art Nouveau style began to develop in the United States at the beginning of the XX century. It all began with the emergence of new, sometimes unexpected elements of dance and a radical metamorphosis of the appearance of dancers, when the famous choreographers felt the stiffness, stuffiness in the classics, when they began to lack the opportunity to demonstrate their skills.
Modern ballet refuses to tutus and Pointe shoes, replaced them loose, long robes ballerinas lend a breezy, sophisticated look. Many of the dancers come out on stage and is barefoot.
Modern Ballet
The struggle between the classics and modernity was not a joke. Ballet movements were updated very reluctantly, traditions were so strong that did not let in the sphere of classics any of a number of the leaving tendency.
Trying to find their own dance language and taking classical ballet as a basis, choreographers create a completely new kind of art – modern ballet.
The modern ballet said no to the classical positions of arms and legs, the complex eversion characteristic of classical ballet, the high jumps and the deliberate lengthening of arms and legs.
The development of modern dance becomes an opportunity for well-known ballet masters to show their skills, because ballet traditions, built over a long period of time, are practically not replenished with new elements and do not take into account modern trends in dance art.
The reaction to this crisis was the creation of a modern ballet style.
In line with these classical elements of ballet and replenished with new dance positions, and a single batch of Nazarov replaced by paired statements. Several modified classical elements, successfully combined with the introduced movements, which form the basis of the dance.
New ballet positions, freedom of expression of feelings and ideas, magnificent plasticity of dancers, departure from conservatism – the main defining modern ballet.
Modern ballet dance, thanks to a certain freedom of movement and dance, not constrained by numerous rules, allows you to get involved in ballet even in adulthood. After all, dance in the art Nouveau style does not require excellent technique, it is important – the natural plastic of the body, allowing you to perform complex movements.
Modern ballet-Tanya without restrictions
In recent years, modern ballet has become widespread in Russia. Various elements of classical ballet are harmoniously combined with new dance movements, which gives freedom of variations and combinations, and this gives the dance a special expressiveness.
Modern ballet is, first of all, an experiment dance.
