28- Tradition of dancing and kiss her

Dance is a highly adaptive art form and, as such, it has changed to suit the needs of the society with which it is involved. Traditional dance is one such variant, and its importance in rural communities cannot be overstated. Traditional dances are often unchoreographed, following patterns that have been passed down for generations. Typically associated with a specific country, culture or group of people, traditional dances are influenced by trends that can span from hundreds to thousands of years. The diversity seen in these styles of dance reflects human experience from the beginning of human artistic expression, providing insights into the political, social and cultural events of the time in which the dance developed. Along with traditional dances, the garments that people typically wore while performing the dances feature huge regional diversity, and the manner by which they are constructed represents a valuable area of study in a variety of scientific disciplines.In this free society, dance is able to question, expose, and utilize the rich choice of techniques available which parallel the American ideals of individualism, racial equality, and social diversity. By maintaining vitality and relevance for all American dance, its techniques, and its aesthetic, contemporary dance serves as a model of our nation's dance tradition. As an art form reflecting our society, contemporary dance investigates ethnic and gender issues while expanding the American dance legacy. At the end of the 20th century, contemporary dance has made the body strong. Its aggressive, daring, and joyous journey has made the body exciting, freed it from the chains of academicism, sexism, and racism.

Dance assumes an importance, therefore, as a unique medium which has a universal appeal and performs a significant role as a social event. Dance is used to address special physical and psychological states and is used at the crucial moments in the life cycle to mark rites of passage. Group dances further the establishment of social identity and are generally used to express the unity and cohesion of the groups involved. Traditional dance patterns are the expression of social and life values which tend to be traditional too. These group patterns express time-honored forms of courtship and sexual behavior where the aesthetic ideal is built upon metaphors or comparisons of animals and plants whose procreation implies productive fertility. These dances can also celebrate some extraordinary strength or skill. They satisfy an aesthetic taste for group unity, synchronized movement, and melody.

Health and physical well-being effects are among the most immediate benefits associated with dancing. These are not only linked to individuals dancing, but also with groups dancing in synchrony for ritualistic or recreational purposes. The benefits of dancing are as many and varied as the range of styles of dancing that people engage in, the personal relationships and group dynamics that are formed through dancing, and the environmental/ecological, socio-cultural, economic, and political frameworks and conditions that people dance within. What follows is a general summary of the way each of these areas might benefit from people's participation in dance. The paper then articulates the mechanism through which each of these benefits might take place, paying particular attention to how synchrony and cooperation might be integral to how some of those benefits occur. These benefits are for the most part not confined to dancing alone but are associated with other rhythmically patterned or non-random activities. Healthcare professionals are now starting to utilize dance for treatment and preventive purposes, e.g., in rehabilitation, to condition damaged tissues, or to loosen knots and align bone structure into healthy positions. Music and movement therapies may also be used to treat cognitive problems, physical pain, medical conditions, and to relax tension, to name a few. In later sections, the physiological costs and benefits of the components of dance are discussed. These components facilitate much of the diverse power that dance has on people and its importance in society, rather than dance being seen as trivial, frivolous ornamentation or an expressive art on the periphery or dance as 'something for the weekend', even as a commodity.

Currently, almost 200 colleges and universities in the U.S. have dance programs ranging from a few dance classes to courses offering work in a major and/or minor. The increase in popularity of dance in academia appears unprecedented, a fact that may be responsible for the broad interdisciplinary and scholarly base from which this question about dance is examined. The recognition of dance as an art form is also well established and widely accepted. Yet Petra says she still has to justify her interest in this field to colleagues and friends. Regardless of whether it is an art form, a system of knowledge, a life-enhancing experience, or something else, as with music, dance is a basic human need. Clearly, dance has occupied an essential role in human society for thousands of years, whether as a part of religious celebration, social entertainment, or as an individual pursuit. Beyond the pleasure of watching or taking part in dance, most people also experience altered states of consciousness as they become the dance. Dance seems to play a significant role in understanding ourselves, others, our world, and in helping us interact and survive as we evolve. Its universality does not eliminate our need to understand what dance is and what its effects are - people vary considerably in what they perceive and experience as they move or watch movement. That we need to understand more about how and why people are moved by dance and what they need to know about it is remarkably similar to what those who teach and engage in research about dance experience each day.
