    INTERPRETATIVE DANCE
     DEFINITION
    THE HISTORY OF INTERPRETATIVE DANCE

     (History)
     Interpretive dance comes out of a modern dance tradition
    that began in the early 1900s. This movement away from the
    traditional and constrictive ballet dancing was invented
    by dancers such as Isadora Duncan and Loie Fuller among
    others.
     Isadora Duncan was an American dancer whose teaching and
    performances in the late 19th and early 20th century helped to
    free ballet from its conservative restrictions and presaged the
    development of modern dance. She was among the first to
    raise interpretive dance to the status of creative art.
    THE HISTORY OF INTERPRETATIVE DANCE

     (History)
     This style of dance also departs from traditional ballet in the
    clothing that is worn.  While ballet usually involves pointe shoes
    and constrictive corsets, interpretive dance uses flowy costumes,
    and may use ribbons as well as spandex.  Early pioneers in
    modern dance departed drastically from traditional expectations
    by dancing barefoot and using tunics or other costumes that
    allowed for more freedom of movement.  Interpretive dance
    allows for more expression from the part of the dancer, whereas
    more traditional dances require strict adherence to choreography.
       
    STYLE AND USE OF INTERPRETATIVE DANCE

     STYLE AND USE

     This style of dance is like lyrical dance in that it expresses strong emotions
    associated with a piece of music or song.  Lyrical dance draws from heavy
    use of techniques that come from jazz and ballet.  Yet, there is much more
    space for expression and interpretation on the part of the dancer than in
    more traditional dancing.  
     In some cases, interpretive dance is considered a category that
    encompasses dance styles such as lyrical dance, jazz and theater dance.
     Within the dance world there is much debate regarding how to categorize
    styles of dancing and how to use names and labels.  This is understandable
    as within dance, there are many styles that overlap and can be performed in
    a variety of different ways.
    STYLE AND USE OF INTERPRETATIVE DANCE

     STYLE AND USE

     Yet, the main characteristics of interpretive dance are broad, creating a


    space in which many kinds of dance may be categorized as interpretive.
     This type of dance encourages the dancer to express his or herself with or
    without music.  The dance may express a story or simply emotions.
     Choreography may or may not used, and when used usually allows for
    some variance to allow for full creativity.  Due to the expressiveness of this
    type of dance, it is often popular for theatrical productions.  
     Interpretive style dance can be fun and exciting to learn.  It allows dancers
    to use their own expressiveness and creativity along with techniques they
    may already know.  If you’re interested in learning more about interpretive
    dance style, contact a reputable dance studio today.
