Modern Dance Photos

Modern dance jolted us with unusual and abstract dancing created by a few dance pioneers we all know. We saw Martha Graham salt dance and use it in a therapeutic and dark way, while we saw Alvin Ailey open up the world to a whole other type of freedom with his innovative and historical dances. Take a look at our compilation of the modern dance greats. Enjoy!
