Dancing is considered as the art to move your body in rhythm. A choreography is usually invented and repeated as to know it by heart and groups to dance together well in sync. Therefore, dance is a performing art that goes with music. There are different ways to dance, relative to culture and traditions. Asian dances are very symbolic, each movement means something, ballet also expresses feelings and choreographs really try to mean things through dancing. Africans also dance a lot, to regulate the day, work in good mood and give themselves courage.

Historically, dancings appear to date from prehistoric times. Indeed, some paintings discovered on caves' walls attest to primitive dances. In the course of history, dance has had many purposes: give courage to the troops when they were going on a fight (war dance), ward off bad luck (rain dance, fire dance), convoke the spirit when someone has just died (ghost dance)...

A lot of girls take ballet class for their parents want them to do a sport and for dancing is culturally made for girls. However, boys also like to dance... and that is maybe why dancing games have such a great success today! Some video games propose some dance mat where you can dance on your favorite video clips and songs. Other games propose you to play dancing games with your keyboard, which enable you to make your character dance and make the most acrobatic figures.

During the 20th century, many sorts of dancing have emerged like hip hop, breakdance, krumping, tektonic, pogo... martial arts kata and Brazilian capoeira may also be considered as dance.
