Concept Notes

WHAT IS DANCE

 Dance is a form of art that is made by purposefully recreating selected


sequences of human motion, which can be imbued with the values of aesthetic
and symbolism that are acknowledged by both performers and observers from
within the particular culture.

 The dance itself can be freeform or can have a predefined choreography that
may or may not align with traditions of origin or historical period.

 The dance can be performed to serve various functions (social, competitive,


ceremonial, martial, erotic…) but it also has two distinct forms – theatrical
dance in which dancers perform for an audience, and participatory social
dance where dancing in a group is encouraged to anyone.

 Participatory dances are most commonly found at weddings, social


gatherings, and festivals, and they can be enjoyed with folk music both alone
or in a group (pairs, lines, chains or other forms).

 Theatrical dance is known for having more elaborate choreography,


planning, costume, scenery and other elements that make the entire
production feel more professional.
 The performers of theatrical dance are usually professional “virtuoso dancers”,
who practice their craft over the years, and are often tasked to interpret the
musical accompaniment with advanced dance moves or routines.

Origins and Early History

The dance has always been with us, even before the arrival of
written language and modern history, when our earliest cultures
evolved utilizing oral and performance methods to pass the stories
from one generation to the next. Many historians believe that
social, celebratory and ritual dances are one of the essential
factors of the development of early human civilizations.

The earliest findings have pinpointed the origins of ancient dances in


9000-year-old India or 5300-year-old Egypt, but the records more
common infusion of dance into a modern culture can be found from
Ancient Greece, China, and India. All these old dances evolved,
eventually morphing into a wide variety of Roman and European
medieval dances, traditional Chinese dances, Hindi and other
traditional dances, respectively.

After the arrival of European Renaissance, the history of music and


dance exploded with the new additions to song and dance. Ease of
travel and immigration to the new world brought these dances into
the mix with many native cultures of the New World, forging
countless new dance types that are still popular to this day.
