Modern dance is a mixture of ballet and jazz movements. A characteristic of modern dance is the weight transfer i.e. from one leg to the other ...the whole body movement concentrates on its execution (torso/arms move into the direction the legs are heading for) ..it is executed in a manner that it seems continuous and going into a certain direction...never stagnant....
