Solution

Dance has been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Archaeology delivers traces of dance from prehistoric times such as the 30,000-year-old Bhimbetka rock shelters paintings in India and Egyptian tomb paintings depicting dancing figures from c. 3300 BC.

One of the earliest structured uses of dances may have been in the performance and in the telling of myths. It was also sometimes used to show feelings for one of the opposite gender. It is also linked to the origin of "love making." Before the production of written languages, dance was one of the methods of passing these stories down from generation to generation.

In the early 1920s, dance studies (dance practice, critical theory, Musical analysis and history) began to be considered an academic discipline. Today, dance is an important part of many cultures, and is a part of the curriculum in performing arts schools.

In the 20th century, dance and its accompanying music became a popular form of entertainment in the West, with genres such as ballet, tap, jazz, and contemporary dance. Dance continues to be a popular art form, with numerous styles and forms practiced around the world.
