The path to performing arts

From music flow to body motion, different path leads to completely different performing arts, be it aerobics, ball room dancing, circus, ballet or modern dance. Ball room, circus, ballet seem to be most confined for certain types musics, while modern dance tends to explore wider, wilder range of sound. Dancers is no longer just an instrument, they are the brain and control center, the strength and angles of human body are maximly explored to express the meaning of beats and melody behind such. Still, it's not easy to define the types of modern dance, it's almost as easy to creat my own style as betraying the essence of it, the line is thin to cross. Maybe that's the beauty of lackness of defintion, comparing to other dancing style. I find it the best name for, say, a trained free style movement. I am questing for that best flow from musical notes to flying shadows. It is easy to start from 80's rock, but it's a bit too well defined, lack of gothicness (is there such word?), lack of randomness; I like Moby's music, definetely alternative, random, yet popular.
