1 answer
Ballet is actually very important for contemporary technique because contemporary is a mix of ballet and modern. You need the technique of ballet and the free movement of modern. Most contemporary dancers have a lot of training in ballet. Ballet also helps with strengthening and building the right muscles needed for contemporary as well as the basic movements such as turning.

Ballet is still very traditional with a contemporary twist added to it. But ballet is still performed traditionally too. As a dancer I like contemporary ballet best. The basics are still used in contemporary ballet and lyrical dance. Lyrical is a much more modern version of ballet with a little bit more expression.

Classical and contemporary ballet bear a resemblance to each other but there are many big differences. Contemporary ballet is usually much faster, and doesn't really tell a story it is usually abstract. There is also much more freedom in contemporary ballet, choreographers can try new and different steps, it also is not as focused on turnout and high extensions, and is alot lower to the ground then classical ballet which is all about turnout high extensions and is very lifted up.

Not all ballet is smooth and flowy as it looks. Modern ballet can be more contemporary or jazz-like, with different hands or positions than traditional classical ballet. Lyrical ballet is smooth and flowy, so you can get away with less technique.

(I think) It is because they do not want to dance Ballet. According to what I have heard, Contemporary is supposed to be against Ballet, and it was supposed to be for people who want to break free from the rules of Ballet. The woman that invented Contemporary probably learned Ballet and probably found it very restricted and questioned about (e.g.) why the positions were like that and why she could not do it another way. I think that is why she invented Contemporary.

20th century ballet is more modern than the typical plie, tondue, arabesk. It has awkward movements and turned in feet with arms out of typical position. The best way to put it is "Breaking Boundaries" a more contemporary dance than classical ballet. Contemporary ballet, you should watch it to understand more :) here's a link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF2k4RRfBb0

Ballet was invented as a pastime and a royal entertainment system by the Italian Renaissance of the 15th century. It was later developed by the French courts in the 17th century. Over the years, ballet has developed into expressionist, neoclassical, classical, contemporary and modern forms.

if you look into the word contemporary...it just means new. But Contemporary dancing can come from any type of movement. If can come from the technique of ballet but with a quirkiness added to it. It can come from jazz, or even lyrical.

DEFINITELY not!!!!!!!!! I do ballet and we are very current. They are always making improvements and things of the sort. Shoes are evolving into more supportive, and sleeker looking shoes. Leotard styles are changing, we now have hairnets for our buns, music is becoming clearer, lights are fancier, floors are cushioned, not at all is it unmodern! also, there is contemporary ballet, which is a mix of modern dance with ballet. Ballet also builds the skills required for more popular types of dance today, such as hip hop, jazz, lyrical, tap, modern, contemporary, swing dancing, ANY type of dances goes back to ballet. Ballet is actually a required class for most people who do any type of dance competitively. Ballet is in it's PRIME TIME right now. :)

"Early ballet" could be interpreted in a number of ways. Ballet originated in the courts of the Renaissance period. It would have looked drastically different from the theatrical form of ballet (classical or contemporary) with which we are familiar today.
If 17th century ballet is as early as you want to regress, here are 3 ways that ballet has evolved: Unlike today, aristocracy and royalty were the primary performers. Performances are now much shorter. Louis XIV danced several roles in a 12-hour ballet that likely included spoken word, music, dance and pantomime. Footwear has evolved over time from a heeled shoe to slippers and/or pointe shoes. The heel was eliminated after the French Revolution and the first pointe shoes with a box didn't appear until late 19th century. The tutu also became popular for female dancers during this time.
It is a huge leap from the early ballets of the 17th century to contemporary ballet. The jump from 19th century to 20th or 21st century seems more manageable. Three notable ways ballet has evolved during this time are that programs may consist of three or four short works rather than a full evening's performance; choreography, music, and design are usually dictated by the subject matter; and the corps de ballet are a much more integral part of the ballet. Many contemporary ballet companies do not even acknowledge this hierarchy, establishing an ensemble of performers instead.

Well classical ballet is slow and flowey and in contemporary ballet it has got a jazz in it
That's a pretty good question. Well, to be honest, classical ballet has a slow, fluid motion to it. Neoclassical is very retro, sort of using the style of the long surviving classical dance with the type of music and motion.
Contemporary ballet is more modern, faster. More rapid.
Classical ballet is the foundation of all ballet dance. It is the name given to the art form which spawned neo-classical and, later, contemporary ballet. All ballet dancers are trained in the classical style.What we call Classical ballets today are generally those that came from the latter half of the 19th century, when the development of pointe shoes led to a dramatic rise in the popularity of the art form. Ballets such as "Giselle", "Les Syhlpides" and "Swan Lake" constitute the Classical repertoire. Most often, there is a story to the ballet, but there are exceptions, such as "Pas de Quatre".
Neoclassicism is generally attributed to George Balanchine, founder of the New York City Ballet. He favored technique over theatrics, so many of his ballets are performed with no sets. Very few Balanchine ballets have a story line.
Contemporary ballet is often choreographed to modern music. Take, for instance, "Billboards" by the Joffery Ballet. It is energetic, expressive, and dynamic. It is diverse as our culture, but still looks best when done by classically trained artists.
