Katherine Dunham Technique

Katherine Dunham Technique is a modern dance technique developed by Katherine Dunham, an African American dancer, choreographer, and anthropologist. It is a fusion of Afro-Caribbean dance, ballet, and modern dance, known for its emphasis on body isolations, polyrhythmic movement, and an integration of cultural and spiritual elements. The technique has been widely influential in dance training, particularly in modern and jazz dance disciplines, and continues to be taught in dance institutions worldwide.
