definition through cultural, social and moral
contexts
Answers
Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture.
Explanation:
Introduction: Dance as Social Life
and Cultural Practice
Dance occupies an important place in the social structure of all human cultures throughout
history. Dance is most commonly defined as a way of human expression through movement.
But dance simply cannot be reduced merely to movement. While it is true that movement
is indeed a fundamental feature of dance, because dance can also be defined as a specific
art movement, based on the expressive moves of the human body, dance is also much
more. A number of theoretical definitions of dance define it as a conscious way of rhythmic
movements of the body in a defined bounded space, but these either sport-kinesiological
or art theories of dance usually overlook many symbolic aspects of dance. In many cases,
they reduce dance to its physical component in terms of aesthetically perfected rhythmic
physical activity, but they overlook the multiple roles and meanings that dance has for the
society in which it appears. The purpose of this anthropology of dance issue is to unfold
various meanings and nuances of dance in contemporary societies, with different contri-
butors with different examples from around the (dance) world illustrating how dance can
be observed, investigated and theorised in all its variety.
