Question 7

Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, and Alwin Nikolais are known modern dance choreographers. George Balanchine is associated with ballet (he was a ballet choreographer and co - founder of New York City Ballet, focusing on ballet rather than modern dance).

The Graham Technique (associated with modern dance) uses a seated 4th position in its warm - up. The Dunham Technique focuses on African - derived movement, the Horton Technique has different warm - up elements, and the Limón Technique also has its own distinct warm - up approach.

B. George Balanchine
