With the success and popularity of likeable and memorable dance movies such as the Step Up trilogy and You Got Served, as well as the high rated shows of Dancing with the Stars and The Wade Robson Project, dance has become an all-the-rage hobby over the past decade. So what exactly is ‘Dance’?
Merriam-Webster has defined Dance as “a series of rhythmic and patterned bodily movements usually performed to music”, and the MacMillan Dictionary supports this with its definition “to move your feet and your body in a pattern of movements that follows the sound of music”. As derived from the definitions aforementioned, dance is almost always accompanied with music or vice versa: Music being the rhythm and beats from instruments, items, synthesizers, voices, humming, etc. Though, there are still some dances performed to narrations or silence, even.
