The music in The Nutcracker helps the audience set a tone and understand the season that the performance is taking place in as well as what is going on in during the ballet. The music in The Rite of Spring

The Rite of Spring’s choreography and music combination kept me yearning for more. I most enjoyed the extremely emotional movements because they drew me in and made me ponder the underlying meaning of the dance. This dance was by far the most expressive one presented all semester. The frantic and sudden movements that interchanged with the soft and gentle movements flowed together and portrayed a frantic‚ yet elegant message. The type of mixed emotional energies and variation of movements is probably

thought this dancing style was weird or odd because it was like nothing they had seen before. While watching the rite of spring‚ I did not feel that it was a classical modern dance style. I feel that classical modern dance is not as intense as the rite of spring was in this video. The video was powerful and passionate and I feel like the later dance styles were more similar to the rite of spring. Next up is the postmodern modern dance period. When the 1960’s came around‚ there was a new style of dance
