1. The Many Forms of Dancing

Dancing means different things to different people, depending on what culture they are from. Only two things are the same and that is its enjoyment – and of course, the fact that is it done to music of some kind, be it a simple drum beat or the complicated strains of the classical masters.

Dance is a kind of art which usually involves interesting body movement, generally rhythmic to music. Dances are performed in nearly all different cultures across the world. Dance is also used as some kind of expression. There are social interaction dances and some forms of dances are used as a way to work out. Believe it or not, some types of dances are spiritual performances. Dance might as well be considered as a highly specialized nonverbal mode of communication that takes place between humans. Dance is carried out by different kinds of animals. You might have heard of the bee dance! Animals also have special patterns of behavior like the mating dance.

Sports such as gymnastics, competitive and armature figure skating and synchronized swimming are among the sports which include mainstream forms of dance, whereas there are martial arts katas that are also regarded as dance. There are motions in normally inanimate objects that might as well be depicted as dances (for instance, the leaves usually dance interestingly as the wind blows).

There are different kinds of definitions regarding what constitutes dance or what dance forms are. Things depend a lot on social, cultural, arty and moral backgrounds or constraints. Today, dance forms range from simple functional moves (e.g. folk dance, group dance) to interesting virtuoso technique laden dance forms like ballet. Then again, dance can be participatory and social. Sometimes dance is performed for both large and small audience. Then again, it can as well be ceremonial and competitive. Sometimes, dance is erotic. There are also special dance moves that might be without any kind of significance!

There are ballet dance and European folk dance. These forms of dance are based on gestural vocabulary and symbolic system. This is common in many forms of Asian dances as well. In some cases, dance may embody and express ideas or emotions. Some forms of dance tell an interesting story. Dancing has gone through different kinds of styles. Have you ever heard of break dancing or krumping? These come from the hip hop culture. And all dance enthusiasts know that African dance happens to be interpretative.
