I agree dancing plays an important role in culture. Culture can be defined as the way of behaviors and life. The rituals, dances, arts, music and beliefs of a population are passed down from generation to generation.
Dance generally refers to body movements made in a particular manner on a rhythmic music. Dance is used as the form of expressions and social interaction in a spiritual or performance setting. Dance is also a type of non-verbal communication.
Different categories of the dance are broadly Solo dance, Partner dance and Group dance. Dance is preformed for various purposes like Ceremonial dance, Religious dance, Performance dance, Social dance etc. Some of the old forms of dance and music are Waltz; Tango; Disco; Hip-Hop etc. Those are performed with music. Music can be classified as Classical music, Classical ballet and Light music.
Majority of times dance is accompanied by music, however it can also be presented independently to provide its own accompaniment like a tap dance. Dance also denotes a sport activity. Initially this term was used for competitive ballroom dancing, in its International Style.
These days there are many TV programs promoting dancing on TV shows named “Nach-Balieye”. Those programs are popularizing dancing activity internationally. There are music competitions too for the participants to win and become Indian Idol.
The state of Punjab in India is the origin of “Bhangra” dance. It is widely known both as a style of music and a dance. It is mostly used to celebrate good harvest by the farmers. This is also expression of love, patriotism or current social issues. Similarly in Gujarat state of India; “Garba” dance is performed to worship and please Goddess Amba.
In conclusion dance plays important role in cultures.
