Defintion of Dance


DEFINITION OF DANCE
 First of all i will introduce this blog by defining what dance means. dance can be defined in so many was. on of its definition is that dance is a way of expressing ones self, that uses the movement of the whole body that are rhythmic, patterned or improvised, and usually accompanied by music. Dance is found in all culture and is performed for different purposes like ceremonial, liturgical, and magical to the theatrical, social, and simply aesthetic. In Europe, tribal dances often evolved into folk dance, which became stylized in the social dances of the 16th-century European courts. It developed from the court dances and became refined by innovations in choreography and technique.
Dance is also a type of art that usually involves moving the body part, often to rhythm and to music. It is performed in eventually all cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story. Dance can also be seen as a form of non-verbal communication between humans or other animals, as in bee dances and behavioral patterns such as mating dances.

  2. Ballerinas are neither contemporary nor ball room dancers, they are under the genres of dances. Though we have contemporary ballet dance, which is also under contemporary dance. But ballet as a whole is neither of the two.
