Answer:
a. Driven by youth culture
c. Decreased emphasis on partners dancing together

Contemporary dance seeks a total break with traditional dances, sometimes even neglecting classical aesthetics: what matters is the transmission of feelings, ideas, concepts. Improvising soils are quite frequent.
Despite its emergence in the 1950s, contemporary dance was concretely defined in the 1980s, as it was, during those 30 years, in a period of experience and improvisation. It appeared as a protest against the standards of classical culture and, despite common references to ballet, jazz and hip-hop, developed movements and a very unique and characteristic language.
