This is a huge & complex answer - but in the short term I suggest you look at the life & work of Isadora Duncan who is often quoted as being the mother of contemporary dance. Then you should consider the work of Ruth St Denis, Ted Shawn & Doris Humphrey. After that move on to Martha Graham & later Merce Cunningham & Jose Limon. If you want the development of contemporary dance in the UK you need to look at the impact of Robin Howard (link to Martha Graham) & the London Contemporary Dance Theatre (& Dance School). This includes the work of people like Robert North, Siobhan Davies, Richard Alston, Chris Bruce, and onto some the the current younger British choreographers.
If by contemporary dance you mean "modern dance" ... it was invented by Isadora Duncan ... Mary Wigman, Loie Fuller, Ruth St. Denis were all in the crowd at the time ... around 1900.
there are no steps. its contemporary, its all about feeling and the way you interpret a song.
Contemporary dance is the name given to a group of concert dance forms. It is a collection of systems and methods developed from modern and postmodern dance and, as such, is not a unique dance technique.
