music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or
exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting and it is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a
story. Dance may be also regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans or
other animals, as in bee dances and behavior patterns such as a mating dance. The definition of
dance may range from functional movement to virtuoso techniques such as ballet, martial arts

synchronized swimming are generally thought to incorporate dance. Definitions of what
