Now let's move on to modem dance. Modem dance evolved in the late nineteenth, early twentieth century, and in most cases, audiences were very willing to receive this radical new type of performing art. But what made modem dance so radical?
Well, [23] I think the best analogy to modem dance is modem art or modem music. Compared to their classical predecessors, these newer art forms are freer, more
experimental. Modem dance seeks to show how deep emotions and the music itself, how these attributes can affect and inspire physical movement, and how movement can convey emotions to the audience. As I said, in classical ballet, emotions are conveyed through a set of strictly formalized movements. Now, a pioneer of modem dance was Isadora Duncan, who was born in 1878. Isadora Duncan did study ballet briefly as a child, but she quickly developed her own unique style, which she called free dance. Her early dance technique was loosely based on the natural movements of children, running, skipping, acting out stories, also on motions from nature, waves crashing onto shore, trees swaying in the wind. Her expressive gestures were motivated from within rather than from being dictated by strict technique．[24]And instead of the short steep skirts and rigid toeshoes worn by ballet dancers, Duncan wore loose, flowing clothes,and she dance barefoot．Now, that was something her audiences had never seen before．In 1904．she opened a school of modem dance in Berlin．And the next year she performed in Russia．But the Russian critics were not really kind．Some said Duncan’s art form was closer to dumb show than to dance．But her style was a clear rebellion against ballet．and ballet is extremely important in Russia．
So what did Duncan have again St ballet? I mean．She studied it as a child．As a youngster, she might have found it too restrictive．uh．not creative enough．I think that feeling is exemplified by something that happened earlier in her career, in Russia．Duncan attended a ballet．and the lead dancer was the renowned Russian ballet dancer, Ana Pavlova．The following day, Pavlova invited Duncan to watch her practice．Duncan accepted but was shocked by what she saw．To her, the exercises that Pavlova and the other ballet dancers were doing seemed painful even harmful standing on tiptoe for hours，moving their bodies in unnatural ways．After seeing this．Duncan publically denounced ballet as a form of complicated and extremely painful mechanism．[25] This critic generated I think some undue rivalry between ballet and modem dance, and it would take a long time, many years in fact, for the rivalry to calm down．
【预测】选项均为动词不定式短语，结合其中重复出现的modern dance以及forms和characteristics可知，本题可能考查某种目的，与现代舞的形式或特点有关。
【解析】C。录音中教授拿当代艺术并口当代音乐与现代舞做类比，并说明它们与之前的古典艺术形式相比显得更自由、更具有实验性。由此可推知，此处教授意在表达现代舞也是对传统形式的一种突破，故答案为C。
