contemporary dance choreography for students

[louisehope]

The interesting and very clever part of this composition is the dynamic(s). My interpretation of this piece was the 'limpness' and 'motionless', 'background'/backdrop that the body itself was creating. It would be very difficult.

Some people should try 'taking' some real contemporary dance classes. People that understand contemporary dance know that it is limitless and has no boundaries. It is not confined to a vocabulary of movement.

So beautiful!

[lovelilovesyou55]

what in the world.....i take contemporary and this aint it!!!

[RaulVillarreal088]

wow.. I can feel it

[Mercedes89beaver]

[WelcomeToBecs]

[solisabel1]

just love it... your such a great dancer :))))) is this your creation? how many years do you dance? kiss :)*

ps: im portuguese so... sorry for my english lol

[Zebrableistift]

beautifull

[sammanthe77]

All I heard was plopping and non pointed feet look horrible. I thought it wasn't very good with u falling and rolling on the floor.

[noneofusareok]

@sammanthe77 Pointed feet for pointed feet lovers, her feet are not pointed for a reason. Falling and rolling is there also for a reason. Try not to be so limited.

[lovelilovesyou55]

@sammanthe77 i know right!!!

[callecitavirtual]

great!!!

[mhss0001]

YAY!!! finally i have found REAL contemporary dance on youtube! not the lyrical "contemporary" commercial nonsense!

[saldanat]

@mhss0001 learn to appreciate dance for whatever it is. just because u prefer this doesn't make lyrical dance nonsense, it's all some form of art and some people prefer to work with music, bashing one doesn't make you seem any smarter or realer

[mhss0001]

@saldanat I had no intention of appearing a certain way with my comment, i was just frustrated about the imbalance of the two different styles with the same name.

[bteieteie]

LOVE this.

[Jonasbros4everxoxo]

I like it but it needs to be worked on to make it flawless!

[Raping17waffles]

[cjesk]

[sushi062000]

This is amazing! Beautiful executions :) I really enjoyed it!

[angelrette67]

oh my goodness... im loving this. Im a dance major at texas womans university and i think this is absolutely brilliantly amazing. LOVE it.

[vragin1602]

Oh and @ CHALADFUL, If you knew any better, modern dance was to go against the Ballet world of being so rigid and pointing toes. There really was no need in defining flexed or pointed toes in this piece. . . . Dont hat, give props where props are due! REAL TALK!

[vragin1602]

So. . . the title says contemporary dance. I think that this is pure Modern Dance. I think of contemporary dance as a mix of most dance forms (modern, ballet, hip hop, jazz). But, whatever whomever calls it, this was well performed and choreographed. BIG UPS to the dancer and the choreographer...

[moveandflow]

This is Contemporary Modern Ballet. Not to be confused with LYRICAL. Which is found at competitions. The LYRICS are the guide, not the movement. The art form of dance can stand alone without music or lyrics. Movement is the most honest, pure, and telling of our communicators. Never meant to be confined. We do it every waking hour of our lives...Body Language. Start with a feeling, let it fester, grow, consume, and explode threw every fiber. Let your audience, if any, decide what they feel.

[toiletsmafia]

i love it too ^^ i would like to know the choreography too =)

[SuKaLuVBeeKrAzY101]

I'm a contemporary dancer... and I personally dont think it is "amazing" but I think it is well performed. I think you could add more flowy movement to make it better...in my eyes of course.

[J4Mitchell]

this is amazing!.. where did u get your inspiration for that? im not sure what your story is but i have an idea :) i really want to learn that choreography... x

[kirsten2207]

i think people need to realise that contemporary is a very different, expressive genre of dance. this solo is beautiful and could be a clean perfect dance with just a bit more practise :)

[danceandmeanit]

This is absolutley stunning.

To the people who are saying 'what is this?' and saying how rubbish it is, open your eyes! if you can't see how stunning this is, then your obviously not a contemporary dancer. which is fine, but don't go complaining about this. In my eyes this is perfection. Beautiful work, NOTHING needed to be changed. Eyeline for this dance-perfect, feet for this dance-perfect.

this is pure inspiration. thankyou.

[moveandflow]

@danceandmeanit

Thank you, well spoken. They turn a blind eye because there is no one guiding them what to feel. No lyrics telling them. So they haven't been able to look at the movement and see a story. Which is okay. it will come with maturity, hopefully. It is a very personal thing, after all. It is pure, naked, and real. As honest as you can be. And you should give it from the bottom of your soul, not from the bottom of a singers or musicians soul.

[danceandmeanit]

couldn't have said it better. exactly.

Thing is with contemporary dance is that there is no right and no wrong. If its what you feel, if its what yourself is exploring, if its how you talk, it is perfection. People need to realise this. This is true dance, honest and raw dance. You said it exactly right. thankyou.

[Sarahlouisebee]

@danceandmeanit I think the people who comment effencive things haven't ever had experience or not very much experience in dancing so wouldn't know the types of things and wacky material is used :')

[XxDemiliciousxX]

great fall & recovery (Y)

[chaladful]

if she pointed her feet it would be amazing

cant tell if they are flexed pointed or just floppy

[HiyaKatiee]

eyes high, and it would look amazing

[dalmatianfutballer]

please do the video step by step i really need it please!!!

[dalmatianfutballer]

this routine is great but if you could do a video showing it step by step will be even better i found a song that it goes great with it's Sara Bareilles -Gravity

[HayleyC987]

I'm trying to learn it right now, It's acctually kinda challenging, and I found A song that went with it too, Broken Strings- James Morrisson

[DanseDeLaVie]

Excellent choice!

[jaicmentos]

thats pretty eerie.. i just randomly introduced mmyself to that artist..but the coreography to this is really nice

[KeyAirUghWhy]

song?

[Trashie123]

That looked so cool! It kinda reminded me of a fire bender on avatar O.o great job!

[duckaphant123]

amazing control and cleanliness. the silence was a bit avant garde for my taste.

[rockonemz]

what on earth...that was amazing! why hasn't this got more views?!

[DancerFORever1]

this looks good if you watch it to old macdonal.

[LILrae52DANCE]

I loved, completely and utterly hooked, your style reminds me of Gavin Webber, Dance north, amazing keep it up :)

[checkmate367]

Thats wheey funny the funniest bit is at 0:43 When she does a star fish

Very Good but funny!

[ImmaculateOne1]

what the hell was that?!?!

[chickayah27]

[TheDwtsfan13]

[Amelis45]

že by S1 ?na Duncanu?

[anjaglu]

very good!!!

[ChupaLupa175]

I actually didn't like it. She's very strong, but she looked and seemed bored the whole time. There wasn't any passion in that routine.

[Dansa4Eva]

really cool i love the movement of your body and especially the leap at the end

[zielonyberecik]

what music did you use to this routine?

[ConcertoBarocco]

i love the dynamiques and expression in the solo!

[charoula3]

its awesome...

i love it in 0:05-0:06...

wow...VEEEEEEERY COOL!!!!!!!

[talespin07]

that was kool...like it was a story.i felt like u try and try but keep failin,or cant get it

[horrorpopsicles]

contemporary dancing is about more than just flinging your body and rolling on the ground.

its about telling a story with your body.

[latortura8]

thanx so much 4 saying that bcuz as a dancer i get offended when ppl comment on things they know nothing about...:(

[pezz160791]

i liek the noises i thought it was the music LOVED IT!!!

[thisaintalovesong]

rly good routine ... it all looks rly good

wtf is that weird noise in the back ground....

overall i rly like this ur moves all fit together

AwEsOmEE!
