    ART APPRECIATION

    DANCE
    What is Dance?
    • Dance is an art form, often classified as a sport,
    consisting of sequences of body movements with
    aesthetic and often symbolic value, either
    improvised or purposefully selected. Dance can be
    categorized and described by its choreography, by its
    repertoire of movements or by its historical period
    or place of origin.
    • Dance, the movement of the body in a rhythmic
    way, usually to music and within a given space, for
    the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion,
    releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the
    movement itself.
    WHEN WAS DANCE
    ORIGINATED?
    • The earliest findings have pinpointed
    the origins of ancient dances in 9000-
    year-old India or 5300-year-old Egypt.
    Still, the records of more common
    infusion of dance into modern culture
    can be found in Ancient Greece, China,
    and India.
    TYPES OF DANCES
    TANGO
    CHA-CHA-CHA
    • This incredibly rhythmic dance
    created in Latin America managed
    to meld together both the slow
    and very energetic movements,
    making it an instant hit among
    dancers around the world.
    RUMBA
    SAMBA
    TAP DANCE
    • This extremely popular form of dance was first introduced in the
    United States during the 1920s Prohibition era. Created by enslaved
    Africans, tap dancing came into the mainstream with the performances
    of the Nicholas brothers. Tap dancing conquered Hollywood and the
    entire world a few short years later.
    MOONWALK
    FLAMENCO
    • This famous Spanish dance
    originated from the region of
    Andalusia, and it gained its name only
    in 18th century. Its magical,
    passionate, and energetic fusion of
    singing (cante), guitar playing (toque),
    dance, and handclaps (palmas) made
    it famous throughout the entire
    world. It became one of the accepted
    heritages of the whole of humanity.
    Country/
    Western Dances
    • The country dance style is a social dance activity
    closely associated with American country and its
    Western traditions. It is made not from a single
    dance but encompasses many forms and dance
    styles that can be performed in country-western
    music. No matter the type of music style or dance
    type, Country dance gatherings employ strong
    dancefloor etiquette and even the ability to
    perform multiple dance styles on a dance floor
    simultaneously.
    BELLY DANCE
    BALLET
    CONTEMPORARY DANCE
    CONCERT DANCE
    • Concert dance (also known as stage dance) is
    any choreographed dance that is performed for an
    audience, usually at the theatre or an organized
    gathering setting with the presence of set music. It
    is a polar opposite of social or participation
    dances, where participants can freely dance how
    and when they wish. Most popular concert dances
    are Ballet, Acrobatic dance, tap dance, modern
    dance, classical Indian or Persian dances and
    others.
    HIP HOP DANCE
    • Hip hop dance is a range of street
    dance styles primarily performed to hip
    hop music or that have evolved as part of
    hip hop culture. It is influenced by a wide
    range of styles that were created in the
    1970s and made popular by dance crews
    in the United States. The television show
    Soul Train and the 1980s films Breakin',
    Beat Street
    BREAKING DANCE
    BALLROOM
    FOLK DANCE
    • Folk dance is a dance that reflects
    the life of the people of a certain
    country or region. Not all ethnic
    dances are folk dances. For example,
    ritual dances or dances of ritual origin
    are not considered to be folk dances.
    Ritual dances are usually called
    "religious dances" because of their
    purpose.
    STREET DANCE
    • Street dance is an umbrella term for a large number
    of social dance styles such as: breakdancing, popping,
    locking, house dance, waacking, voguing etc. Social
    dance styles have many accompanying steps and
    foundations, created organically from a culture, a
    moment in time, a way of life, influenced by natural
    social interaction.[1] A street dance is a vernacular
    dance in an urban context.[2] Vernacular dances are
    often improvisational and social in nature,
    encouraging interaction and contact with spectators
    and other dancers. These dances are a part of the
    vernacular culture of the geographical area that they
    come from.
