Human beings express themselves naturally through movement. Dance is the transformation of ordinary functional and expressive movement into extraordinary movement for extraordinary purposes; even a common movement such as walking is performed in dance in a patterned way, perhaps in circles or to a special rhythm, and it occurs in a special context. Dance may inlove a fixed vocabulary of movements that have no meaning in themselves, as in much of ballet and European folk dance , or pantomine and symbolic gestures may be used, as in many Asian dance forms of dance can reveal much about their way of life.
Dancing is both an art and form of recreation. As an art, a dance may tell a story, set a mood, or express an emotion. A ballet dancer's movements, for example, can effectively portray the sharp and sly movement of a wolf or the light and graceful movement of Red Riding Hood. As a form of recreation, dancing has long provided fun,relaxation, and companionship. On the Filipino frontier for example: the Rigodon de Honor dance gave pioneer families a welcome chance to socialize. Today, dancing at a party remains a popular way for people to enjoy themselves and make new friends.
Music and Technique:
Music -Music plays an important role in the dance to which it is closely related. It is something melodic and harmonious usually used as an accompaniment. Music motivates the movements ofbthe dancers. Most of the time music serves as a background that further captivates the spectaturs.
Technique -This skill in executing movement. A technically proficient dancer has complete control over the muscles of his/her body. In some forms of dancing, a high degree of technique is an end in itself, as in men's solos in certain Slavic folk dances, and in classical ballet.
