WORKS OF MODERN DANCE

SLIP - Phillip Chbeeb & Renee Kester
 
This video showcases a modern dance duet shot in a subway station. Although the dance is arguably contemporary, there are many evident modern themes. They play a lot with weight and with contact/release which are both modern elemets.
So You Think You Can Dance
Amy & Robert - Say Something
 
This dance could also be argued between contemporary and modern, as both genres share many similar elements. 
So You Think You Can Dance
Eldrick & Natasha - Use Somebody
 
In this dance they really emphasize the floorwork element that is so prevelant in modern choreography. 
So You Think You Can Dance Audition
Melanie Moore 
 
In this solo piece by Melanie Moore, many modern elements are showcased. In the peice she displays an amazing amount of control in her contact and release, and in her floor work. Throughout most of the peice, you'll notice that her weight is centered in her core as opposed to lifted through her chest.
