African Americans influence on modern dance really was largely significant and is greatly broad-brushed by society. See, it first originated in the 20th century when a group of choreographers and dancers battled against two different styles of dance- ballet and vaudeville, (which was just a mixture of different forms of dance, like modern).

Some pioneers from this time-period would be people like Louise Fuller, or Isadora Duncan.
