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)
