Modern Dance. He was married to Ruth St. Dennis and they started the school/company of Denishawn. Ruth and Ted split due to Ted being bi-sexual. Ted then went solo with'Ted Shawn and his men dancers'. He taught many famous dancers the biggest name Mertha Graham. Ted explored dance. He didn't want his style of dance to be like Ballet. The public was outraged at this time.
