Dance

Music evokes bodily motion, whether it be tapping to the beat, swaying from side to side, or moving the full body in a coordinated fashion.  Dance needs music to exist; it interprets and engages with music, the movements matching the moods and beat patterns.  Dance also provides opportunities for socializing, fostering communities, expressing identities, and courtship.
