Modern Dance Steps
Leg Swings
Standing again in parallel first, place your arms in second position. Sliding the right leg forward with a pointed toe,
it should then brush through the first position and follow through backwards, slightly bending the knee. This is
often used as a transitional movement in a combination of choreography.
Flat Back
It sounds simple enough, but a flat back executed properly takes a distinct amount of discipline and flexibility.
After you have bent over, keeping your spine as straight as possible, raise your arms into high fifth with the palms
facing inward. Raise the torso back up, simultaneously with the arms as a single fluid movement. This step is a
wonderful exhibition of grace and bodily control, almost derived from its ancestor ballet.
Chasse
The chasse is a simple jump found often in modern dance. Standing with the weight on one foot, you shift the
weight while in a plie stance, and then jump so both feet are vertical together in the air. You can travel across the
room with this movement, and add height and a spin for a more advanced look.
Burlesque
A literary, dramatic, or musical work which aims to create laughter by caricaturing the behavior of
serious works or via absurd treatments of such subjects.
Ballroom Dance
A duet dance, this refers to any type of partner dancing as recreation. It is enjoyed both socially and
competitively globally
Belly Dancing
Also known as Arabic dance or Raqs sharqi, it is a dance originating from Egypt and emphasizes on the
complex movements on the torso.
Jazz
A performance dance style and technique which emerged along with jazz music. This can be referred to
as vernacular jazz or to Broadway or theatrical jazz.
