Features: This book should be the first manual for appreciating modern dance in Chinese-speaking regions worldwide, and the second in other languages. As a manual, I sincerely hope it can, through its own charm, become the key to entry for modern enthusiasts, offering benefits upon opening, becoming indispensable, and allowing them to enjoy dance at will. Regarding this "Manual of Modern Dance Appreciation," it should start with the life stories, social backgrounds, creative mindsets, and choreographic methods of the various renowned figures who have shaped modern dance history. It should vividly and concretely provide readers with the historical origins, developmental threads, typical concepts, and fundamental characteristics of modern dance, enabling them to learn to identify, analyze, and appreciate modern dance through extensive reading and reflection. For information on this, please read the biographical sketches of each renowned figure in this book. Regarding this "Manual of Modern Dance Appreciation," it should use elegant and fluid language, accurate and error-free information, and a visually rich format to depict and critique the classic works in modern dance history and the celebrated masterpieces of contemporary choreographers, providing readers with systematic and complete information and leaving them with vivid impressions. To offer more and fresher visual stimuli to readers within the limited space, I will strive not to repeat the images used in my previous works.
