FAQ About The Evolution of Classical Ballet into Modern Interpretations
How did classical ballet evolve into modern ballet?
The evolution of classical ballet into modern forms began in the early 20th century as artists sought to break away from the rigid structure of traditional ballet. Pioneers like Isadora Duncan and Martha Graham introduced more fluid and natural movements, allowing for greater expression and individual artistry. Over time, choreographers blended classical techniques with contemporary styles, experimenting with freer, more expressive dance forms that reflected modern social themes and aesthetic sensibilities.
