Classical and contemporary Ballet bear a resemblance to each other but there are many big differences. Contemporary ballet is usually much faster, and doesn't really tell a story it is usually abstract. There is also much more freedom in contemporary ballet, choreographers can try new and different steps, it also is not as focused on turnout and high extensions, and is alot lower to the ground then classical ballet which is all about turnout high extensions and is very lifted up.

Diffences between 20th century ballet and classical ballet?
20th century ballet is more modern than the typical plie, tondue, arabesk. It has awkward movements and turned in feet with arms out of typical position. The best way to put it is "Breaking Boundaries" a more contemporary dance than classical ballet. Contemporary ballet, you should watch it to understand more :) here's a link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF2k4RRfBb0
What are the similarities of contemporary and classical ballet?
The fundamental: Ballet training. All leg and arm positions are basically the same, with any performance it is perfectly acceptable in both branches of ballet to "cheat" and stylize the details (like angle of hands or head) a bit. In Classical, however, there are limits to how much one can do. For example, rarely in a Classical ballet class do they ask you to work with parallel legs: they must always be turned out. Additionally, costumes and music are usually classical as well. Costume is pink tights, and some form of tutu, at least. Contemporary ballet is easier to define. It might, choreographically, appear to be a mixture of modern or lyrical dance and ballet. Costuming and music doesn't have to be classical either. It's really quite supportive of experements.
