wat is contemporary/modern dance?

answers1: Lyrical, contemporary & modern are just about the same
thing. Modern is more flexed feet. To me...Lyrical & Modern is more
like a time to worship God through my dancing. And to really put alot
of emotion into what I do.
answers2: Lyrical is to contemporary/modern dance as fast food is to
gourmet cooking, so it's no wonder you've heard of lyrical but not
contemporary/modern. Pop culture offers up lyrical dance, with its
usual fare of tricks, floor rolls and emotive cliches. But an ongoing
succession of dance artists have guided the development of modern and
contemporary dance with their unique contributions to the art form.

Before some people give me the usual thumbs down for seeming to knock
their favorite style of dance, I'm not saying that lyrical isn't fun
and enjoyable or doesn't have a place in the wider world of dance. You
just will never see "Lyrical" offered as part of a regular college
dance program because it is not a recognized dance technique that is
worthy of serious study.
