Abstract

The article studies a problem of the emergence and development of modern dance in the Russian Federation. The researchers raise questions about the timeliness of its appearance, relevance and place in the theatrical life of the country. The process of development of modern dance as a phenomenon of scenic art and its self-determination as an independent direction in choreography is considered. The authors of the article draw parallels between the political, economic, cultural and social processes taking place in the Russian Federation during the recent history of the country. Some aspects that have made significant adjustments to the process of the emergence and formation of modern dance as an independent type of choreographic art in the Russian Federation are highlighted. The author traces the moment of the emergence of various styles and trends of modern choreography, as well as their diffusion with various types of theatrical creativity, both in the central cities of Russia and on the periphery. A number of aspects of the formation and development of modern dance in the system of secondary and higher education are given on the example of the work of choreographers who have made a significant contribution to the stages of the formation of modern choreography.
