| Domain | Definition |
Literature | Dances (National Dances): Bohemian: the redowa. English: the hornpipe and lancers. French: the contredanse (country dance), cotillon, and quadrille. German: the gallopade and waltz. Irish: the jig. Neapolitan: the tarantella. Polish: the mazurka and krakovieck, Russian: the cossac. Scotch: the reel. Spanish: the bolero and fandango. When Handel was asked to point out the peculiar taste of the different nations of Europe in dancing, he ascribed the minuet to the French, the saraband to the Spaniard, the arietta to the Italian, and the hornpipe and the morris-dance to the English. Dances (Religious Dances): Astronomical dances, invented by the Egyptians, designed (like our orreries) to represent the movements of the heavenly bodies. The Bacchic' dances were of three sorts: grave (like our minuet), gay (like our gavotte), and mixed (like our minuet and gavotte combined). The dance Champètre, invented by Pan, quick and lively. The dancers (in the open air) wore wreaths of oak and garlands of flowers. Children's dances, in Lacedemonia, in honour of Diana. The children were nude; and their movements were grave, modest, and graceful. Corybantic dances, in honour of Bacchus, accompanied with timbrels, fifes, flutes, and a tumultuous noise produced by the clashing of swords and spears against brazen bucklers. Funereal dances, in Athens, slow, solemn dances in which the priests took part. The performers wore long white robes, and carried cypress slips in their hands. Hymeneal dances were lively and joyous. The dancers being crowned with flowers. Of the Lapithæ, invented by Pirithöus. These were exhibited after some famous victory, and were designed to imitate the combats of the Centaurs and Lapithæ. These dances were both difficult and dangerous. May-day dances at Rome. At daybreak lads and lasses went out to gather "May" and other flowers for themselves and their elders; and the day was spent in dances and festivities. Military dances. The oldest of all dances, executed with swords, javelins, and bucklers. Said to be invented by Minerva to celebrate the victory of the gods over the Titans. Nuptial dances. A Roman pantomimic performance resembling the dances of our harlequin and columbine. Sacred dances (among the Jews). David danced in certain religious processions (2 Sam. vi. 14). The people sang and danced before the golden calf (Exod. xxxii. 19). And in the book of Psalms (cl. 4) we read, "Let [the people] praise [the Lord] with timbrel and dance. Miriam, the sister of Moses, after the passage of the Red Sea, was followed by all the women with timbrels and dances (Exod. xv. 20). Salic dances, instituted by Numa Pompilius in honour of Mars. They were executed by twelve priests selected from the highest of the nobility, and the dances were performed in the temple while sacrifices were being made and hymns sung to the god. The Dancing Dervishes celebrate their religious rites with dances, which consist chiefly of spinning round and round a little allotted space, not in couples, but each one alone. In ancient times the Gauls, the Germans, the Spaniards, and the English too had their sacred dances. In fact, in all religious ceremonies the dance was an essential part of divine worship. In India dancing is a part of religious worship in which the priests join. See Danse. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Dance is, in general terms, human movement with an implied purpose such as the communication of an aesthetic or emotional idea, participation with music, and/or the achievement of certain mind-body states, sometimes spiritual-mystical ones, sometimes as simple as body fitness.Dance is contrasted to utilitarian, mundane movement such as walking, hammering, typing, lifting weights, etc., that has a direct "materialistic" purpose.
A dance also refers to a specific form of this movement. Specific dances have names that are recognized, and the specifics of the dance may be formalized. Examples of specific dances or families of dances are waltz, jig and "Orange Blossom Special".
Dances develop out of a particular culture, and usually have a specific purpose, such as social dancing or performance dancing. These dances may be accepted and/or adapted by other cultures, and for other purposes. For example, the social dances of one culture and time period might become the historical reenactment dances of another culture and time period.
From the sociological point of view, dance is usually considered to be cultural rather than natural phenomenon. Therefore a possible way of classification of various forms of dance is according to the spheres of cultural activity: religion, art, sport, recreation. Of course, this classification is neither precise nor complete. For example, dance can be a form of therapy (choreotherapy). For some people, dance is simply job. Elements of dance can be found in a number of sports, such as gymnastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming.
Dance is often seamlessly blended with other types of art and sports, such as pantomime or gymnastics. Many folk and ethnic dances use steps and movements that imitate important everyday activities: agricultural, fishing, hunting, etc. However the purpose of, e.g., harvesting dance is not harvesting, rather tale about harvesting or something similar.
Dance movement is often, though not always, rhythmic, and usually requires rhythm of music, at least imaginary. Sometimes dancers by their own motion produce music (stomping, clapping, ringing the bells attached to body or garments). As art or entertainment, dancing can be done for dancers' own pleasure or as performance, i.e., for the pleasure of others. It may be danced individually, as couples or in groups.
The principal element of dance is the motion of the dancer's body. It can be more or less coordinated, slower or faster, but always purposeful. Another importann component of dance is rhythm. It is also said that dance is a form of nonverbal communication. In this sence, someone has said (bearing religious dance in mind) "Dance is prayer of feet".
The history of dance is as long as the history of mankind. We can only guess how dances looked like in earlier epochs. In European culture, one of the earliest records of dancing is by Homer, whose "Iliad" describes chorea (khoreia).
Dance is found in every human culture. Dance scholar Alfred Gell has defined dance as "a stylized deformation of nondance mobility, just as poetry is a deformation or modulation of language, a deviation from the norm of expression that enhances expressiveness (Gell, Alfred. 'Style and Meaning in Umeda Dance' in: Spencer, Paul, ed. Society and the Dance. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985)."
A continuum of dance can be posited that stretches from the most extreme and solitary forms of non-technical, ritual dance (endurance/trance dancing) through a broad middle of folk dance (including everything from modern club dances to a medieval minuet), to extreme forms of performance dance such as neoclassical ballet or postmodern works employing decontextualized pedestrian movement.
When the purpose of a movement activity is not immediately clear, it is sometimes referred to as dancing. Some examples:
Dance choreography is the act of planning a dance so a dancer will move in a certain way. It is also the result of this planning.
- Boxers and fencers are said to dance around each other. Martial arts, especially Asian ones, are often rightfully compared to dancing.
- It is said that certain animals dance as part of their mating rituals. Their is still great mystery surrounding these patterns. An example is bee dance, a remarkably regular movement which a honeybee often performs in a hive. It has been a mystery since man first domesticated the bees, the purpose of which has only recently been uncovered.
A significant part of dancing culture takes erotic dance (e.g., belly dance). Often erotic dancer's clothing is limited and/or sexy or gradually decreased (striptease). An erotic male dancer with little clothes, e.g. only briefs, is sometimes called "macho dancer".
However nudity in dance is not a prerogative of erotic dance. The culture and the ability of the human body is a significant aesthetic component in many dance styles.
