How Dance Reflects Culture
How Dance Reflects Culture. Dance occupies an important place or rather is seen as an important
factor in the social structure of all human cultures throughout history. Dance tells us something about
the way people think, what they feel and who they are. Dance is commonly defined as a form of
human expression through body movement. But dance simply cannot be reduced merely to just
movement. There are a number of theoretical definitions of dance either classifying it as a
conscious way of rhythmic movements of the body in a defined bounded space or a specific art
movement, based on the expressive moves of the human body. However, these theoretical
definitions of dance usually overlook many symbolic aspects of dance. It is an essential part of a
culture. Dance can be done for many reasons, for example, dance is used to protest oppression,
provide some form of therapy, a preservation of culture or simply just for pleasure. Just like music,
some cultures do not have a name or word to describe dance but, the same action is performed.
The primary tool of dance is the human body. The body is not designed to be rigid. The body
comes first, there is no distinction between body and mind. Dance is a form or nonverbal
communication, the ambiguous nature of it give it a great about of power. The body is not just a
template where culture is painted on; it is an active role in the creation of cultural meaning.
Whatever happens inside or around the community will affect their culture
