My views on the Contrast between ballet and Modern dance

Modern dance is more abstract than ballet, ballet is very techniqual and detailed whereas Modern dance is more relaxed. Ballet is a lot more stricter than modern dance, whereas modern dance is very much of your own interpretation - there isn't set moves that you have to learn the names of, they are just natural angles of the body.
The reason that modern dance and ballet are very different is because modern dance is a rebellion of ballet. Martha Graham, Loie Fuller, Ruth St Denis ect wanted modern dance to be a rebellious style from ballet.
