Modern Dance in the 20th and 21st Centuries

“I am sincerely trying now to create a dance technique based entirely on corrective exercises, created with a knowledge of human anatomy, a technique that will correct faults and prepare a dancer for any type of dancing he may wish to follow, a technique having all basic movements which govern the actions of the body, combined with a knowledge of the origins of the movements and a sense of artistic design.”  ~Lester Horton

      Lester Horton was one of many legends in modern dance. He along with others such as Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Isadora Duncan, and many more contributed their knowledge and creativity to the development of modern dance.
