Modern Dance

I’m going to try and play the devil’s advocate here, but I have always been inclined to criticize and go away from tradition.  I feel that taking and accepting change in actions and surroundings is an important part of intellectual growth.  Therefore, while traditional dance is beautiful and artful, and some dancers prefer it over other forms of dance, I’d always gravitate away from it towards the edgy.  Some people go their entire lives without an original thought.  My question to John Martin would be: Where do you see dance going in the future?  Will the traditional dance forms themselves ever change?
