Annotation Modern dance is developing in the face of new threats and opportunities. Like any other social phenomenon, it is affected by external conditions that can affect its content, development and forms. The COVID-19 pandemic has become the most global condition in recent times, the impact of which has become tangible for all spheres of society. Like other branches of art, Contemporary Dance was put into new conditions, which led not only to negative consequences but also caused a surge in the use of information technologies to bring the results of creative research to the viewer. It was the pandemic conditions that contributed to the intensive development of new forms of interaction between the professional choreographic community and the new stage of the development of the screen dance as one of the forms of Contemporary Dance. The article is devoted to the impact of the restrictive conditions of the pandemic on the development of contemporary dance and its form such as a screen dance. We analyzed the few available approaches to determining the essence of a screen dancer, as well as the experience of choreographers in creating dance performances in conditions of self-isolation. The research is based on the analysis of the scientific literature covering problems of development of modern dance and screen dance in the conditions of COVID-19 pandemic. We concluded that representatives of the professional community of choreographers were able to use the conditions of self-isolation to implement new creative ideas, and the screen dance became more popular.
