Traditional Dances

Introduction To Traditional Dances
Dance is a type of  art that generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music, performed in many different cultures and used as a form of expression, social interactions or presented in a spiritual or performance.

Dance are dependent on social, cultural, artistic,aesthetic and moral constraints and range from functional movement such as folk dance to virtuoso techniques such as ballet. Dance can be participatory, social or performed for an audience. It can also be ceremonial, competitive or erotic. Dance movements may be without significance in themselves, such as in ballet or European folk dance, or have a gestural, vocabulary, symbolic system as in many Asian dances. Dance can embody or express ideas, emotions or tell a story.

Dancing has evolved many styles. Breakdancing and Krumping are related to the hip hop culture. African dance is interpretative. Ballet, Ballroom, Waltz, and Tango are classical styles of dance while Square Dance and the Electric Dance are forms of step dances.
Every dance, no matter what style, has something in common. It not only involves flexibility and body movement, but also physics.
