Dance

Dance means in Old French dancier, perhaps from Frankish generally refers to human movement also used as a form of expression or presented in a social, spiritual or performance setting.

Dance also is used to explain methods of non-verbal communication (see body language) between humans or animals (bee dance, mating dance), motion in inanimate objects (the leaves danced in the wind), and certain musical forms or genres.

Choreography is the art of making dances, and the human being who does this is called a choreographer.

Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on social, cultural, visual, artistic and moral constraints and variety from functional movement (such as folk dance) to codified, virtuoso techniques such as ballet. Dance disciplines live in sports such as gymnastics, figure skating, and synchronized swimming and martial arts kata are often compare to dance.
