Ballet and vaudeville were the two most prominent dance styles at the time, but choreographers like Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, and Ted Shawn revolted against them, giving rise to modern dance.
Beginning in the late 19th century, concert dance emerged. This dance was known as modern dance, and it has a very fascinating past. This dance style originated in Germany and America as a reaction to classical ballet.
There are numerous styles of modern dance, including Horton, Graham, Cunningham, and Limón.
