It is a kind of dance faction that emerged in the West at the beginning of the 20th century in opposition to classical ballet. Its main aesthetic point of view is to oppose the classical ballet's formalist tendency of sticking to the old ways, detaching itself from real life and purely pursuing techniques.
It advocates that classical ballet should get rid of the shackles of overly rigid movement programs, and that it should freely express people's true emotions through dance movements that conform to the laws of natural movement, emphasizing that the art of dance should reflect the life of modern society.
