Rock Research Dance Survey
Dance (from French danser, perhaps
from Frankish) generally refers to movement used as a form of
expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or
performance setting.
Dance is also used to describe
methods of non-verbal communication (see body language) between humans
or animals (bee dance, patterns of behaviour such as a mating dance),
motion in inanimate objects (the leaves danced in the wind), and
certain musical forms or genres.
Definitions of what constitutes dance
are dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic, artistic and moral
constraints and range from functional movement (such as Folk dance) to
virtuoso techniques such as ballet. In sports, gymnastics, figure
skating and synchronized swimming are dance disciplines while Martial
arts 'kata' are often compared to dances.
