Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.
An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance, although these two categories are not always completely separate; both may have special functions, whether social, ceremonial, competitive, erotic, martial, or sacred/liturgical. Others disciplines of human movement are sometimes said to have a dance-like quality, including martial arts, gymnastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming and many other forms of athletics.
Theatrical dance, also called performance or concert dance, is intended primarily as a spectacle, usually a performance upon a stage by virtuoso dancers. It often tells a story, perhaps using mime, costume and scenery, or else it may simply interpret the musical accompaniment, which is often specially composed. Examples are western ballet and modern dance, Classical Indian dance and Chinese and Japanese song and dance dramas. Most classical forms are centred upon dance alone, but performance dance may also appear in opera and other forms of musical theatre.
I dance away from all my fear
Come back
My feet will move until I lie
Down there
My soul will dance over your house
Your house will never smile again
Take all your memories
Put them in your bag
‘cause you need to run away
The dance is not over.
Remember light your house on fire
be quiet don´t wake up the fear
it´s sleeping, put your fear in the bag
hurry now, close it, laugh and leave.
Take all your memories
Put them in your bag
‘cause you need to run away
the dance is not over
dance for us dance for us dance for us fear:
