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
