Dance is a type of art that generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music, performed in many different cultures and used as a form of expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or performance setting.
Dance may also be regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans, and is also performed by other animals (bee dance, patterns of behaviour such as a mating dance). Gymnastics, figure skating and synchronized swimming are sports that incorporate dance, while martial arts kata are often compared to dances. Motion in ordinarily inanimate objects may also be described as dances (the leaves danced in the wind).
Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic, artistic and moral constraints and range from functional movement (such as folk dance) to virtuoso techniques such as ballet. Dance can be participatory, social or performed for an audience. It can also be ceremonial, competitive or erotic. Dance movements may be without significance in themselves, such as in ballet or European folk dance, or have a gestural vocabulary/symbolic system as in many Asian dances. Dance can embody or express ideas, emotions or tell a story.
I love you, strange man
You had come from so far away
Talking
We were talking, well we tried
Then we danced
Laughing
We were laughing
But then we touched
I just broke
Down crying
I felt your planet so far away
Touching the love
From your distant star
The pains the troubles past
From your distant star
We've been waiting 2000 years for you to come again
Such a long, long time
Just to learn the truth
And then we
Danced

Dance your life away!
Dance!
Dance!
Dance your life away!
(solo)
Dance!
Dance!
Dance your life away!
Dance!
Dance!
Dance your life away!
So far away...
I know I love you...
