1. DANCING

2. WHAT IS DANCE?

3. A. DANCE AND HUMAN CULTURE
Dance can be art, ritual, or recreation.
It goes beyond the functional purposes of the
movements used in work or athletics in order to
express emotions, moods, or ideas; tell a story;
serve religious, political, economic, or social
needs; or simply be an experience that is
pleasurable, exciting, or aesthetically valuable

4. B. DANCE AND THE HUMAN BODY
The body can perform such actions as rotating,
bending, stretching, jumping, and turning.
 By varying these physical actions and using
different dynamics, human beings can devise an
infinite number of body movements.

5. C. DANCE AND THE HUMAN MIND
besides giving physical pleasure, dancing can
have psychological effects.
Feelings and ideas can be expressed and
communicated; sharing rhythms and
movements can make a group feel unified. In
some societies, dancing often leads to trance or
other altered states of consciousness.

6. D. DANCE AND SOCIETY
The physical and psychological effects of dance
enable it to serve many functions. It may be a
form of worship, a means of honoring
ancestors, a way of propitiating the gods, or a
method to effect magic.
 Dancing is mentioned in the Bible, and until
the middle Ages it was often a part of worship
services and religious celebrations.

7. HISTORY
It is not known when people began to dance;
however, because expressive movement is so
spontaneous, because dance is almost universal,
and because it is so intimately interrelated with
other aspects of a culture, it is possible that
dance developed along with the evolution of
our species.

8. HISTORY
Prehistoric cave paintings from more than
20,000 years ago depict figures in animal
costumes who seem to be dancing, possibly
in hunting or fertility rituals, or perhaps
merely for education or entertainment.

9. A. ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS
Written as well as visual evidence of dance has
survived from the ancient civilizations of the
Mediterranean region and the Middle East.
Egyptian tombs depict people who seem to be
dancers, often in acrobatic positions such as
backbends; these figures probably represent
professional entertainers who were slaves.

10. A. ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS

11. B. MEDIEVAL EUROPE
The Christian church, which
dominated the European
Middle Ages, disapproved of
dancing. Dancing continued
among the people, however,
both in communal festivals and
as entertainment.

12. C. BALLET AND MODERN DANCE
`` Ballet originated in the courts of Italy and France
during the Renaissance, becoming primarily a
professional discipline by the late 17th century. Since
that time, even though its style and subject matter
continue to evolve, it has remained a major art form
of Western culture. In the late 19th and early 20th
centuries the American dancers Isadora Duncan and
Ruth St. Denis rebelled against ballet.

13. C. BALLET AND MODERN DANCE
The classic ballet Giselle was first produced in
Paris, France, in 1841. This scene is from the

England, with British ballerina Margot Fonteyn in
the title role. A critically acclaimed dancer,
Fonteyn was the company’s prima ballerina at the
time

15. D. FOLK DANCE
A participatory dance form, folk dance is usually traditional
and performed by members of a community. Although not
easy to define, the term seems best to fit those dances
originated by agricultural peoples for secular and
sometimes ritual purposes, in countries that also have an
art form of dance. The Balkan kolo, English morris dance,
and North American square dance (see Kolo; Morris Dance;
Square Dance) are examples,

16. ELEMENTS OF DANCING
1. BODYIn dance, the body is the
mobile figure or shape, felt by
the dancer, seen by others. The
body is sometimes relatively still
and sometimes changing as the
dancer moves in place or travels
through the dance area.

included in the act of dancing—
it can include dance steps, facial
movements, partner lifts,
gestures, and even everyday
movements such as walking.

myriad ways. They may stay in
one place or they may travel
from one place to another.
They may alter the direction,
level, size, and pathways of
their movements.

19. 4. TIME
Rhythmic patterns may be
metered or free rhythm. Much
of western music uses
repeating patterns (2/4 or 3/4
for example), but concepts of
time and meter are used very
differently throughout the
world.

20. 4. TIME
 Dance movements may also show different timing
relationships such as simultaneous or sequential timing, brief
to long duration, fast to slow speed, or accents in
predictable or unpredictable intervals.time may be also
organized in some other ways
 • Clock time: The dance is based on units of seconds,
minutes, and/or hours. For example, a certain section of a
dance may be assigned a time such as 30 seconds into which
all the choreographed movement must fit

21. 4. TIME
Event-sequence: An internal or external
event signals a change such as repeating a
traveling phrase over and over until
everyone arrives at a corner of the stage.
You also see this at sports events when a
touchdown triggers a dance cheer.

22. 5. ENERGY
Energy is about how the movement
happens. Choices about energy include
variations in movement flow and the use
of force, tension, and weight. An arm
gesture might be free flowing or easily
stopped, and it may be powerful or
gentle, tight or loose, heavy or light.
