Where in the world did modern dance come from?
Modern Dance has varied roots but there are a fewkey people who are generally considered to be the first modern dances (Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Charles Wideman, and Hanya Holm)). The main predessesors to them were Isadora Duncan who did "barefoot dancing", Ruth St.Dennis (and Ted Shawn) who did character dance pagents, and Loie Fuller who was in vaudeville. In many ways Modern dance was a rebellion against Ballet. There were interested in the potential for the body to express something other than beauty like the ballet. They were also exploring the potential in the body for dance movement (basically less strict posture allowing for more varied movement)
What is modern dancing?
Modern dancing came around, at the turn of the century, when women didn't want to dance on pointe shoes any more. They wanted to be rebels. They decided to dance bare foot. People didn't like this idea. That's how it got the name "modern" dancing. Modern dancing is danced barefoot. You can dance to any music you want. Modern dancing is used to show your emotions. It is kind of like contempory. ---- Added - So.... What the Heck is Modern Dance???The question has been asked four million times. "So, what is Modern, anyway?" "Is it like lyrical jazz?" "How about Hip Hop?" "I know, I bet it's like ballet, only looser." "I heard it's that stuff that Britney Spears does, that's pretty modern, don't you think?" "It's just kind of free flowing movement where you show your emotions."NOPE.The truth is, Modern Dance has been widely misunderstood. In fact, even the name is now kind of obsolete! When Modern dance began to emerge, well, it was pretty modern. But that was around 1900, making Modern Dance's foundation over a hundred years old! Shouldn't we call it something else now? Well, we can certainly see how the name "Modern Dance" only adds to the confusion.Around 1900, the dance scene had gotten fairly stale. Romantic Ballets were just about the only things being performed, but the peak of their popularity had been some 60 years earlier. At that time, a young woman named Isadora Duncan decided there must be another way to move; ballet was too artificial. So modern dance arrived as a rebellion to ballet.Isadora took her ideas from Greek statues and art; also drawing much of her inspiration from the music. Instead of the romantic tutus, audiences of Isadora Duncan would have seen a woman clad in long, flowing tunics and bare feet, the sight of which shocked many theatergoers. Isadora danced on a carpet, which travelled with her - perhaps to make her footfalls silent or provide a softer landing. Her dances consisted of simple phrases of movement... skips, walks and leaps, all very eloquent, the use of gestures... she would frequently end a dance with one arm drifting skyward. In any case, for an audience used to romantic ballet, Isadora Duncan was highly unusual.---- The rest of this article can be seen at http://www.dancefestivalmusic.co.uk/modern-12/

Who were the followers of Isadora Duncan?
Her main protogees were her 6 adopted daughters known as the Isadorables, of whom Maria Theresa Duncan, one of the six became known as the greatest solo dramatic artist of her time, creating her own dances in harmony with the universal principles that Isadora Duncan created her dance upon. I worked personally with Maria Theresa in NYC 1978-87. the longest I, have continued to teach and lecture at many Interenational Institutions, as the, Sorbonne Univ. , the United Nations,and many others vVdeos at the Lincoln Center Library.NYC.
How did isadora duncan dance help the world?
Provided there is such a thing that 'helping the world' which is highly questionable, an act of 'voicing' (or expressing by any means, including dance) the opinions of many -- which she undoubtedly did or else she wouldn't have been so successful -- would certainly qualify. If interested, see papers by Comparatist Eva Tokei
How much does break dance cost?
First of all, not many dance schools teach break dance. Most schools teach hip-hop though. But if you can find several schools that teach break dance, it depends on the dance school. Remember: Hip-hop is very, very close to break dancing, so if there are no break dancing schools around you, you should try hip-hop:)

What type of dances on their toes?
Dancers who have had many year of experience. Many dance schools have an age limmit, and many dance schools go on how experianced you are. I would not reccemnd this for anyone who has weak ankels, or people who like to keep their toe nails long. Just remember i am not an expert on this stuff but have been doing point for many years.
What are the different kind of modern dance?
There are not specifically different "kinds" of modern dance... Modern Dance developed out of many different roots but there were two main (and two secondary) forerunners that all modern dance branches from (Graham and Humphrey) Different Choreographers and Dancers take what there master taught them, change it a little for various reasons and teach it to their students, and so on. Some major "schools" of modern dance (with codified techniques) are Graham, Horton (Ailey), Limon, Duncan, Humphrey, Cunningham. So basically what kind of modern dance will depend on the teacher/choreographer, and who they were taught by and so on.
