Dance is one of the most significant forms of human expression. They dance to express joy and have fun. Dancing gives the performers the opportunity of expressing their feelings and emotions through movement. That kind of movement can become an art - full of beauty. Dancing is certainly something especial.
Dance is almost universal.
Expression through movement is so spontaneous and interrelated with other aspects of a culture, that we could say that dance has been inherent to humans since the evolution of our species. Prehistoric cave paintings from more than 20,000 years ago depict figures in dance-like movements, perhaps dance rituals or simple dances for entertainment or education. From ancient civilizations we have evidence of dance in paintings and manuscripts. Egyptians, Greeks and Romans had dances as part of agricultural and religious festivals. The native dances of Africa and America were often associated with rituals.
