A Brief History of Dance


 

 

    1. Origins in antiquity: The earliest historical records showing the origins of dance are cave paintings in India dating to about 8000 BCE Egyptian tomb paintings also depict dance in about 3300 BCE These early dances may have been religious in nature, and by the era of ancient Greece, people were incorporating dance into celebrations of the wine god Dionysus (and later the Roman god Bacchus) and into ritual dances at the ancient Greek Olympic Games. In addition, early people danced for enjoyment, seduction, and entertainment. 

 

What Is Dancing?

Dancing involves moving the body rhythmically, often in a choreographed way and usually to music. Dance can express aesthetic ideas and emotions as a form of performance art presented to an audience. People also dance in nonperformance situations to release energy, express emotion, connect with other people, or just enjoy the feeling of movement.

While the art of dance varies across history and cultures, it exists in all cultures. In many cultures, both highly trained professionals and amateurs of all ages dance.

From the creation of the universe, to the first heartbeat of the fetus in the womb, rhythm and dance have always existed.   For tens of thousands of years, humans have used dance as an integral part of ritual, prayer, and reaching other states of consciousness, for the purpose of healing, and to facilitate contact with the Divine.   It is believed that the soul of a people is woven into the steps of their dances.     Sadly, the incredible power of dance as a sacred ritual has often been interpreted as a threat throughout history.
