Passage : 1

DANCE

Dance is an art form that generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music, used

as a form of expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or performance setting.

Gymnastics, figure skating and synchronized swimming are sports that incorporate dance, while martial

arts Kata are often compared to dances. Motion in ordinarily inanimate objects may also be described as

dances (the leaves dance in the wind).

Every dance no matter what style, has something in common. It not only involves flexibility and body

movement, but also physics. If the proper physics is not taken into consideration injuries may occur.

Choreography is the art of creating dances. The person who creates (i.e. choreographs) a dance is

known as the choreographer.

Dance has certainly been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since

the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Archeology delivers trace of dance from prehistoric times such as

the 9,000 years old Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka painting in India and Egyptian tomb painting depicting

dancing figures from circa 3300 BC.

Once of the earliest structured uses of dances may have been in the performance and in the telling of

myths. Before the production of written languages dance was one of the methods of passing these stories

down from generation to generation.
