There are many styles of dance.

Modern dance in the United States
Jewish dance in America stemmed from the minds of choreographers such as Martha Graham and her mentee, Anna Sokolow. They created works of moving art that served as a form of advocacy and awareness of the growing antisemitism in the United States during the post World War II period. These works, such as The Exile premiered by Anna Sokolow in 1939, sparked both criticism and acts of praise from the public. Some saw this modern movement as a beautiful tribute to those who had been persecuted during World War II while others, including critics from The New York Times, saw it as an unnecessary form of propaganda. This type of modern dance was taught at companies such as the Martha Graham Dance Company and the New Dance Group.
