The Art of Dance

  Art is defined as many things, but it’s truly just expressing yourself. A form of art that too many people fail to notice is dance. Dance may not be considered art in the eye of some, but in my opinion, it’s one of the most commonly used forms. It shows your expression/emotion through your body. Dance may be the only form of art where you use all of yourself in the making. It’s beautiful to see an artist embody themselves in their work, and dancing allows you to do just that. Dance has been around since the beginning of time. The Aztecs, Egyptians, and other early civilizations used it on a daily basis. They danced and prayed to worship their Gods.Anyway it goes, dance has really become an important form of art that can create and effect peoples’ emotions. FMA (Flash Mob America) is the perfect example of this. A Flash Mob America flash mob is a spontaneous public performance, usually a dance, that appears seemingly out of nowhere with just one person, grows to hundreds of people, and quickly disappears. Flash Mob America strives to give people a purpose which is to create joy through surprise. Flash Mobs are also bringing the community together and helping people in need. They gave a deserving family $10,000 to help change their life; over 1,000 people came out and danced in their honor. Also they beat the world record with First lady Michelle Obama to how many people could jump rope at once.

    What is the difference between dance and other forms of art?

    Dance is a type of art, but I believe is more of a performance art because it requires a lot of movement. Well, in one way, art is an expression of emotions which dancing can also be from the movements, but just a lot more dramatic, and entertaining. I think all type of dances express a meaning beside freestyle because freestyle is just do whatever you want spontaneously. Most important of art, all dances expresses an emotion or mood from the dancer's movement and attitude toward the dance they are performing. A difference between dance and other type of art is it's a lot more active and it probably have the most rhythm.

  2. To answer the last question, I believe that dance is a form of art that is more expressive through bodily movements. It is a definite difference from things that may be still or projected. With dance you are able to see right in front of you representational movements as well as emotional expressions. From experience, I know that certain types of dance involves a connection with what you are doing, what you are feeling, and how you express those things. For example, in a dance that is meant to express sadness there wouldn't be a happy expression or movement. -Tia

  3. I think dance can be considered a form of art because just like any type of painting, sculpture, or picture can it can bring out emotion and have effects on viewers. Even though it may be a little harder to interpret, Dance is a form of performance art. Also, the music that goes along with it can play apart in the type energy it gives off, meaning that this music also plays a part in the artistic qualities of dance.

  4. I do believe dance is a form of because it is a way to express yourself. I live to dance. I have been in three dance programs because how much I love to dance. Dance can evoke emotions and express thoughts . Modern dance is the exact form of dance to evoke emotions and express thoughts. The only difference between dance and other forms of art, is the fact that with dance you are all the mediums. With dance your body is the paint, paper and sculptures.

  5. I do thik that dance is a form of art. A person dances to express feelings and thats what art is. The music in a dance routine is a way to explain what the dancer is trying to portray in the routine. The music can be slow and calming, or fast and fun. I love flash mobs, even though I never saw one in person, I think they're fun to watch. The way no one really knows what's going to happen makes the performance much more fun. I think dance is one of the many ways art can be expressed.

  6. I think dance can be considered an art. Art is the quality, production, or expression and you do all of these things when dancing. I think that anything that potray a concept or shows feeling can be considered an art. Some dances tell a story entirely through movement while other art forms tell their story in a different way. Whether its through music, drawings, dancing or poetry they each convay a message.

  7. I think dance is a form of art because it help show feelings without having to actually stand in front of people and talk. Dancin evokes emotions by the type of music and the way their dancing to the song. The more feeling the person has, the more emotion will be in it. Dance has a lot of action. While other forms of arts are the basic drawing and sculpting, painting techiniques.
