Explainer: what is contemporary dance? Contemporary dance is a catch-all phrase used fairly indiscriminately, meaning many things to different dance communities across a wide range of cultures. In fact, it’s probably easier to say what contemporary dance is not than what it is. But a good place to start is by thinking of it as a genre in its own right, with different styles that can be housed under one roof. What came before?

Les études sur la musique de Michael Jackson sont nombreuses, mais celles liées à la danse restent quasi inexistantes. Pourtant, du classique au hip-hop en passant par le contemporain, il n'est pas un chorégraphe actuel qui se risquerait à dire qu'«on a un peu surnoté ses chorés».
