Modern dance requires more flexibility than jazz dance.
Modern dance is different because it is basically a mix between jazz style dancing and ballet. It helps you become more flexible and ties in different steps from jazz, ballet, and not to mention it has many of its own very creative steps!

Well... Contemporary Jazz is pretty much Jazz Lyrical. It is modern (contemporary) dance with some jazz in the mix. It is usually to soft or medium soft music and the choreography flows. It may have a Jazzy feel to it, or it may not. Contemporary Jazz has more options for themes, choreography, style, ETC. Personally, I believe that Contemporary Jazz or Jazz Lyrical is a fun class to take and teach!:)
Jazz can be any kind of upbeat series of movements. This might sound just like contemporary (modern) dancing but actually, try doing the 1970's Charleston (which is classified as jazz dance) to Like a G6! Modern dances are used with more modern songs and movements. The way modern dance is danced changes depending on the time. Does this make sense? In other words, in the 1920s the Charleston was considered a modern dance. Now that doesn't mean that doing a dance to Like a G6 wouldn't be jazz. It could be a variety of dance subjects. It really just depends on which type of dance best suits the movements and song. -Thank you!
Jazz dance and jazz music began to diverge in the mid-20th century, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. As jazz music evolved into various subgenres like bebop and cool jazz, jazz dance also developed its own distinct styles, influenced by ballet, modern dance, and other genres. This separation became more pronounced with the rise of jazz dance as a performance art, particularly in musical theater and commercial contexts, while jazz music continued to explore complex improvisation and instrumentation.
Jazz ballet and modern dance share a focus on expressive movement and often incorporate elements of improvisation. Both styles emphasize personal expression and can blend various techniques, but they differ in their foundations: jazz ballet is rooted in classical ballet and jazz techniques, characterized by its structured form and rhythm, while modern dance often prioritizes individuality and abstraction, breaking away from traditional techniques. Additionally, jazz ballet tends to incorporate more upbeat, commercial music, while modern dance often explores a wider range of music and themes.
modern is like contemporary, lyrical, jazz, and ballet, and you usually dance it with either bare feet, socks, foot undeez, jazz shoes, or ballet shoes. tap dancing requires tap shoes, and it is more complicated, seeing as how there are actual "steps" and not just technique like in modern.
Ballet jazz was the first style of dance, it was developed so we now have jazz pop and Broadway jazz. Ballet jazz is more ellegant and people who wish to do this style of dance need to be flexable
