Ballet Vs. Modern
To truly understand this relationship, you must picture these art forms as stepping stones. Without training in ballet, it is quite difficult to take up modern because you become a much better and more fluent dancer. Also, some describe Modern as Ballet’s sister. At the beginning of the rebellion, the goal was to create a style with more freedom and they ended up with a technique that is practically the opposite of classical ballet; a style with total freedom and barely any structure.
