What kinds of dances does modern dance include?

Modern dance includes jazz dance, tap dance, modern dance and folk dance.

Jazz dance is a dynamic and creative personal improvisation. It is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance, which belongs to extroverted dance, unlike the introverted dance shown by classical dance and ballet. Jazz dance was originally an extension of African dance, brought to the United States by black people who were sold as slaves, and gradually evolved into a localized popular dance in the United States.

Tap dancing is a modern dance. The North American colonies were formed in the 1920s of 18. At that time, Irish immigrants and African slaves brought their folk dances to the North American colonies and gradually merged to form a new dance form. This kind of dance is open and free, without many formal restrictions. Dancers don't pay attention to body dancing, but pay attention to the complex technique of hitting with the rhythm of toes and heels.

3. Modern dance is a dance school that rose in the west in the early 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.

4. Folk dance originated from human's working life. It is a mass dance activity created and performed by the people to show the cultural traditions, living customs and people's mental outlook of a nation or region, so it is also called "folk dance".
