What is the difference between Modern dance and Jazz?

Modern is a little odd sometimes. You really have to be in touch with your body to really connect with modern movements. It’s very earthy movement. Deep meaning behind the movements. Jazz is more fun, upbeat (usually). An amazing modern/contemporary choreographer is Mia Michaels. Anything she has done (check youtube for So You Think You Can Dance dances she’s done) is amazing. She won an Emmy for a dance she created in season 2 of SYTYCD with Heidi and Travis just search “Heidi and Travis bench dance” on youtube and you should find it. It was amazing. As far as jazz goes, Mandy Moore (no, not the singer) and Tyce Diorio are both amazing choreographers in Jazz. Check them on youtube as well. Check out “Sabra and Neil jazz” or “Sabra and Neil sweet dreams” on youtube. Mandy Moore did that for season 3 of SYTYCD. Hope that helps!! Enjoy finding out about dance, it’s an amazing art form that I think you’ll really like!
