Modern- The world of modern dance is the most creative structured form of dance.  It is the association of the words “creative” and “structured form” which created the major reason why dancers are confounded in trying to exact a “definition”  of Modern Dance. Modern Dance combines elements of Ballet, Jazz and free dance.

Contemporary-Contemporary dance is the name for a modern concert dance genre. It is not a specific dance technique but a collection of methods developed from modern and post-modern dance and can take on many forms including dance fusion, modern dance, ballet and lyrical movement.
